Salvation is the process of being rescued from sin and restored to a relationship with God, requiring three essential steps. First, we must repent, changing our minds about sin and acknowledging how it separates us from God. Second, we need to believe in Jesus, trusting in His death and resurrection, which brings forgiveness, grace, and security. Finally, we must obey, demonstrating our faith through actions like baptism. True salvation isn't about being moral or religious—it's about moving from separation to relationship with Jesus through repentance, belief, and obedience.
