The Bible outlines that we are saved from sin, God's wrath, eternal death, and separation from God.
Scripture provides a comprehensive picture of what we are saved from through the atoning work of Christ. First and foremost, we are saved from sin, which encompasses both the guilt and the power it holds over us (Matthew 1:21). We find that we are also saved from God's wrath, which is justly due to our sinful nature (Romans 5:9), and the eternal separation from Him that is characterized by hell (Revelation 20:14). Finally, salvation also liberates believers from the daily power of sin, ensuring that it no longer dominion over us (Romans 6:14). This multifaceted salvation points towards not only what we are delivered from but also what we are saved to—a life of fellowship and eternal joy with God.
