'''Salvation''' is the free gift of God through [[Jesus Christ]] in accordance with the New Testament of the [[Bible]]. When a person humbles themselves before God ''(in genuine repentance of the evil in their heart)'' and accepts Jesus as his or her Lord and Savior, that person is given the gift of salvation. Salvation, in the biblical sense, means being ''saved from'' [[Hell]] and given eternal life and restored relationship with the Lord in [[Heaven]]. But it is also more than just being ''saved from''; it also carries with it the idea of being ''saved out of'' the slave market of [[sin]].
