Salvation
The Christian understanding of deliverance from sin and reconciliation with God through Christ. Salvation involves justification (declared righteous by God's grace), sanctification (ongoing spiritual transformation), and glorification (ultimate perfection in God's presence). Salvation is understood as both present reality and future hope.
Real World
The Alpha Course, used by millions globally including by HTB church in London, structures its entire programme around the Christian journey from recognising sin to receiving salvation through Christ.
Exam Focus
For 'explain' questions on salvation, name at least two distinct stages — justification, sanctification, glorification — and link each to a theologian or tradition.
