Meaning of Salvation

                

Salvation means, the forgiveness of sins ​and restoration of friendship with God, ​which can be done by God alone.

மீட்பு என்பது பாவ மன்னிப்பையும், கடவுளுடனான நட்பின் மறுசீரமைப்பையும் குறிக்கிறது; 

இதை கடவுளால் மட்டுமே செய்ய முடியும்.

We can deepen our understanding of Salvation by reflecting on the meaning of the following key concepts:

• Atonement
• Eternal Life
• Reconciliation
• Redemption

Each of these terms reveals a different dimension of what salvation truly means.

Atonement
Jesus Christ said,

“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
— Matthew 26:28

Atonement reveals how sins are forgiven through the sacrificial offering of Christ.

---

Eternal Life

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
— John 3:16

Eternal life is the gift of everlasting life granted to those who believe in Christ.

---

Reconciliation
God reconciles humanity—though sinful—to Himself through Christ, no longer counting their sins against them.
— Romans 5:11; Romans 11:15; 2 Corinthians 5:18–21

Reconciliation emphasizes restored relationship between God and humanity.

---

Redemption
Redemption is like a slave being set free when a price is paid on their behalf.

“The Son of Man came… to give his life as a ransom for many.”
— Matthew 20:28

It points to Christ’s sacrifice as the price paid for our freedom.
