How is salvation accomplished according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

Salvation is accomplished through Jesus Christ’s atoning sacrifice and received by faith alone.

The Bible teaches that salvation is a result of Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, which was intended specifically for His people. According to 1 Peter 2:24, 'Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,' illustrating that Christ died for the sins of His elect rather than for all people without exception. This truth is significant as it affirms that Jesus did not merely make salvation possible; rather, He actually atoned for the sins of His chosen ones.

Believers receive this salvation not through their own efforts but through faith in Christ alone, as encapsulated in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.' This reinforces the notion that salvation is fully a work of God's grace and mercy, providing believers with assurance and a call to repentance and faith in Christ as their Savior.
