Salvation is the deliverance of mankind from the power of darkness into the kingdom of light. It also refers to being set free from bondage and from the dominion of sin, to be rescued from there destruction that is coming upon the present world according to Matthew 24:3-7
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4. And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

Before Salvation came to man, due to the disobedience of man in the beginning at the garden of Eden there was a separation between God and man as stated in Genesis 3.
Relationship, fellowship and dominion were lost as a result of this sin. In order to reconcile man to God, a sacrifice was required. Jesus came as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of man which now brought about salvation.
In order for man to be reconciled back to God as it was in the former relationship they had in the Garden before the disobedience, man had to accept the sacrifice i.e. Jesus Christ which was the saviour.
Even while we were yet sinners, Christ loved us and died for us, he paid for the atonement of our sins,He carried the pains and burden of our sins on that cross.

Even when we didnt acknowledge Him, He still chose to die for us, what manner of love He has for us, no matter it is called the Agape love Love that supercedes all.
Romans 8:
- For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
- For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
- That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
He was beaten and crucified for our sins in which He knew nothing about, our attrocities and all of our faults, and after all there we still disregard Him.
He's the Key and our hope of Salvation for He is the only king that was born to become a baby in human form, disregarding the trend of babies being born to become kings. He is King of all Kings.
His birth, crucifixion and death brought salvation to mankind.
Receive Christ today and be saved, there's no cost for salvation, it is absolutely free.
No matter how big or heavy your sins are Christ is ready to carry your burden for you.
Welcome Him to your home today!
I'll have to draw my curtain here!

Hello, just stumbled on your post. Like it's always said salvation is personal, it's not a decision one can make for another. Thanks for sharing.
It is by God's grace that we earn salvation. That is why you cannot save another person. Only God can save. That was why he's so compassionate about man that he gave all he had so that he might be saved. For you to obtain salvation, you must first believe that you can be saved through God's grace. This is why it is a personal decision.
Thanks for contributing to SteemChurch.
