Salvation (the Gospel)

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." - John 3:1


For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him - 2 Corinthians 5:21


For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. - Ephesians 2:8-10 -emphasis mine
