SALVATION

SALVATION (saved): refers to God sending his Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for mankind's sins and sinners receiving Jesus Christ by faith as their Lord and Savior. This is a choice given by God: to be saved or reject his offer and remain in your sins. To remain in one's sins ultimately results in judgment. To accept his offer of salvation through Jesus Christ is to have one's sins removed and to become guiltless and acceptable to God.
