Salvation

The two-fundamental meaning for salvation are:

To be rescued from a lost state.
To be brought into a saved state.

A person needs to know they can be saved, but first they need to recognize their lost condition. “Yes, all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious ideal;” (Romans 3:23) TLB

All are in need of a Savior because of sin and the penalty of sin.

Salvation is by faith alone:

“Because of his kindness, you have been saved through trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) TLB
