- 1What is meant by Salvation?To be saved.
Christians believe that salvation is needed to re-establish a right relationship with God which was spoilt by Adam and Eve - 2What is meant by INCARNATION and how does it link to SALVATION?Incarnation - literally 'enfleshed' meaning God became human in the person of Jesus and holds both full humanity and full divinity.
Jesus has to be human so we can relate to him and has to be divine to have the power to save us - 3How is Jesus' death seen as a sacrifice?Jesus paid the price for human sin - OT idea of making sacrifice on day of atonement.
