Salvation

• Salvation: The act of delivering from sin or saving from evil. This cancels out original sin and promises eternal life in heaven.
• Atonement: Reparation (amends) for a wrong or injury. Jesus' death is seen as atonement as he pays the price for all human sin and God reconciles himself with humanity.
• Reconciliation: The restoration of relationships. God's relationship with humans was reconciled through his self-sacrifice (Jesus) so humans could be reunited with God in heaven.
• Grace: God's gift of friendship and life that enables us to share his life and love. God loves humans despite what we do or do not do. Salvation is given freely through faith in Jesus.
• Forgiveness: Stopping blaming someone and/or pardoning them for what they have done wrong.
• Incarnation 


  God becoming flesh, God in human form.
• God in Christ: God healed the separation between Himself and humans by sending Jesus.
• Forgiveness of sins: The crucifixion of Jesus made the forgiveness of sins and reconciliation possible.
• Amazing Grace: A hymn written by John Newton who had been an irreligious slave-trader. He thought he was going to die in a storm and said "Lord have mercy on us," and they survived. He saw this as an act of God's Grace and eventually became a priest, campaigning for the abolition of slavery.
• Holy Spirit: 3rd person of the Trinity, a source of strength who guides the Church..
• Good works: Good deeds; doing good things. Salvation comes of doing good things, faith in God and following God's law.
• James 2:17 - Good works: "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:17.
• Ephesians 2:8-9 - Grace: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8-9.
