The Word Salvation

The child of God was saved from the guilt and penalty of sin when he believed!

The word salvation is used in the Bible to indicate a work of God in behalf of man. In the present age its use is limited to His work for individuals only, and is vouchsafed to them upon one definite condition.  Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the fact that now, according to the Bible, salvation is the result of the work of God for the individual, rather than the work of the individual for God, or even the work of the individual for himself. Eventually the one who is saved by the power of God may, after that divine work is accomplished, do "good works" for God; for salvation is said to be "unto good works" (Eph. 2:10) and those who "believed" are to be "careful to maintain good works" (Tit. 3:8). Good works are evidently made possible by salvation; but these good works, which follow salvation, do not add anything to the all-sufficient and perfect saving work of God. Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, Salvation

"For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish" (2 Cor. 2:15);

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" (Eph. 2:8);
