Salvation means choosing to accept Christ as your Savior from sin. Salvation is a free gift offered to all and cannot be earned by works. Salvation has already been purchased for us by the sacrificial death of Jesus.
"For the wages of sins death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
