Salvation is a:

free gift
payment
reward

That is a difficut quwestion to answer

Many people would give the internet answer saying this: Salvation is the state of being saved or protected from harm or a dire situation. In religion and theology, salvation generally refers to the deliverance of the soul from sin and its consequences. The academic study of salvation is called soteriology.

From the heart however, I would salvation is a free gift that would be the best thing that ever happened to you. By having faith in Jesus, Christians believe they receive God's grace . This means they believe God has blessed them, which in turn gives them the strength to live a good Christian life. Ultimately, salvation from sin was the purpose of Jesus' life, death and resurrection.Faith is the gift we receive from God (ref. Ephesians 2:8; 2 Peter 1:1) that enables us to actively and willingly believe, and keep on believing, in the Lord Jesus Christ. ... Faith, and faith alone, can justify and forgive us of all of our sins. The gift of salvation is the gift of sanctification, by word and Spirit. Let's start by confirming the truth that salvation is not something one can purchase or merit by way of good works. Paul clearly expressed the fact that eternal salvation is the “gift of God” (Rom. 6:23). He even specified that it is a “free” gift.

How do you pray for salvation?  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. ... For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) Repeat this, and mean it, for God loves you with all his heart.

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

John 3:16 is one of the most widely quoted verses from the Bible and has been called the most famous Bible verse. The verse declares his love for us as human and his children. Do me a solid and give your life to Christ. Thanks-
