WHAT IS SALVATION?
Salvation means redemption from eternal death, and deliverance from the effects of sin. It is the gift of God to man.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2: 8).
Adam's transgression, or original sin, brought eternal death upon mankind. The atonement made by the Savior made redemption from that eternal death general or universal; that is, all will be redeemed from it. Both good and bad will be resurrected.
"For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." (I Corinthians 15: 21, 22).
