Salvation in Christianity

Salvation in Christianity, is the saving of the soul from sin and death. It may also be called "deliverance" or "Redemption" from sinful nature and it is a promise of eternal life through the spirit. It is a freedom from the flesh and temptations that steer mankind off track from full enlightenment and communion with God.

Variant views on salvation are among the main fault lines dividing the various Christian denominations, being a point of disagreement between Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, as well as within Protestantism, notably in the Calvinist–Arminian debate. The fault lines include conflicting definitions of depravity, predestination, atonement, and most pointedly, justification.

According to Christian belief, salvation from sin in general and original sin in particular is made possible by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, which in the context of salvation is referred to as the "atonement". Christian soteriology ranges from exclusive salvation to universal reconciliation concepts. While some of the differences are as widespread as Christianity itself, the overwhelming majority agrees that Christian salvation is made possible by the work of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, dying on the cross. Man is able to reach eternal life and peace because of one man, who embodies love. God and his son, Jesus embody "Love"-Jesus's sacrifice on the cross differentiates itself from the religious denominations that use His name to justify certain rules. Jesus embodies selfess and sacrificial love. Jesus is known as the Savior for he laid his life down for fellow man, he offers hope and promises that the first shall be last and the last shall be first, despite judgmental ideologies placed in religion, Jesus Christ represents hope for all.
