The concept of personal salvation is rooted in Scripture, though the exact phrase 'personal savior' is not directly used.
The Bible does not explicitly mention a 'personal savior'; however, the need for individual salvation is clearly presented through the teachings of Jesus Christ. For instance, John 3:16 declares that 'whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life,' indicating that the call to salvation is personal and directed at individuals. Each believer must respond to Christ’s call in a personal manner, acknowledging their need for Him as their Savior. Despite the absence of the term, the reality of a personal relationship with Jesus is firmly established in the broader context of Scripture.
