What does the Bible say about Salvation?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16 KJV). Salvation comes only by the grace of God, whereby we are saved from the power of sin (Ephesians 2:8 KJV). Through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins and our faith in Him and repentance, we are given an eternal home in heaven.
God is the source of salvation and referred to as our ‘Saviour’. Jude the Apostle wrote, “To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” (Jude 1:25 KJV) Since God provides salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Paul the Apostle refers to Jesus as our ‘Saviour’ in the Bible, “Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour” (Titus 1:4 KJV).

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
