Bible verses about salvation
Last reviewed
Salvation is the area where Christian traditions differ most substantially — on how it comes about, on what part human response plays, on who is included.
This page does not resolve any of that, and would not be a good place to try. It gathers passages that are widely cited across traditions, gives their references and links to their chapters, and leaves the interpretation where it belongs: with readers, their communities and their own study.
