DEFINITION OF SALVATION

Salvation is the most common biblical expression used to identify the subjective changes in people's lives, when by faith they have received the benefit of Christ's death and resurrection. The term implies deliverance, safety, preservation, healing, and soundness. It occurs in Scriptures in three phases. First, the Christian is being saved from the guilt and penalty of sin (Eph. 2:5,8). Second, the Christian is saved from the habit and dominion of sin in this life (Gal 2:19,20). Finally, when the Lord returns, the Christian will be saved from all the physical results of sin and of God's curse on the world
