Salvation
What is Salvation and what am I being saved from?
Salvation
Deliverance from sin and its consequences brought about by faith in Jesus Christ.
Who Is Jesus?
He is the Son of God who was crucified and raised from the dead for the salvation of all who trust in Him. Christ is not Jesus's last name, but identifies Him as the Messiah
Why was Jesus crucified
Jesus was crucified because God sacrificed him to atone for humanity's sins. This was prophesized in Old Testament scriptures.
