He also gradually rescues him from the power of sin in this life. And, ultimately, He rescues him from the very presence of sin by taking him to heaven. That is what it means to be saved. But, it is of the greatest importance to know how to be saved. About this matter, as I have already indicated, there is no unanimity.
Salvation is received by faith.
The Bible is clearly saying that you must depend upon Jesus Christ. It means that you must entrust your entire life, here and hereafter, to Him. It means that you must depend wholly upon what He has done, to be saved. Jesus Christ died on the cross, bearing the punishment that was due to all who throughout the ages will believe on Him. He rose from the dead, giving evidence that God accepted His penal, vicarious sacrifice.
