Salvation
John 10:28-29 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
Salvation is God's sovereign and gracious choice to be "God with us" in the person of Jesus Christ, through the cross and resurrection. What Jesus did in our name he also did in our place, giving "his life as a ransom for many". And if Christ demonstrated his love by dying when we were still sinners, how much more shall we now be saved by his life.
