What is Salvation?

Salvation

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Salvation is the saving of human beings from death and separation from God by Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, and the justification following this salvation.
