What does the Bible say about salvation?

Answered in 667 sources

The Bible teaches that salvation is found only in Christ, as stated in Acts 4:12, which affirms that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.

The Bible presents salvation as the gracious deliverance from sin, the curse of the law, and eternal wrath through the power of God. In Acts 4:12, it is affirmed that salvation is solely found in Jesus Christ, emphasizing no alternative for redemption. Notably, Hebrews warns against neglecting this great salvation, reiterating its significance. Ultimately, salvation is an act of grace from God, not based on human merit or works, but entirely reliant on Christ's atoning sacrifice and God's sovereign choice.
