What the Bible Says About Real Salvation

Most people’s view of salvation is just receiving eternal life but what is the biblical view of real salvation?

(Romans 6:1-2 KJV)  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

(Luke 1:5-6 KJV)  There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.  And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

(Romans 6:3 KJV)  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

(Romans 6:4 KJV)  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

(Romans 6:5 KJV)  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

(Romans 6:6 KJV)  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

(Philippians 2:12 KJV)  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

(Romans 6:7 KJV)  For he that is dead is freed from sin.

(Romans 6:11 KJV)  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(Romans 6:12 KJV)  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

(Romans 6:13 KJV)  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

(Romans 6:14 KJV)  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

(Romans 6:15 KJV)  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

(Romans 6:16 KJV)  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
