Salvation is God's rescue of sinners through His Son. It is not earned by good behavior or religious effort; it is received by faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again. Scripture says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. These passages set out that good news plainly, in God's own words.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
