Salvation (Latin salvatio; Greek sōtēria; Hebrew yeshu'ah) is being saved or protected from harm[1] or being saved or delivered from some dire situation.[2] In religion, salvation is stated as the saving of the soul from sin and its consequences.[3] The academic study of salvation is called soteriology. It concerns itself with the comparative study of how different religious traditions conceive salvation (a concept existing across a wide range of cultural traditions), and how they believe it is obtained.In religion, salvation is stated as the saving of the soul from sin and its consequences.[4] It may also be called "deliverance" or "redemption" from sin and its effects.[5] Salvation is considered to be caused either by the free will and grace of a deity or by personal efforts through prayer and asceticism. Religions often emphasize the necessity of both personal effort—for example, repentance and asceticism—and divine action (e.g. grace). Though there is some overlap in terminology, the divine act of saving a being (i.e., the soul) from biological death is properly called "resurrection", not "salvation", although the two distinct concepts are naturally related. Within soteriology, salvation has two related meanings. On the one hand, it refers to the activity of a divine agency—as in Christianity, Judaism and Islam. On the other, it refers to the situation of the soul saved (as in "safe") from some unfortunate destiny. The divine agency of the first meaning gives rise to the situation of the second meaning. Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christianity consider devotion, petition, supplication and liturgical participation important for salvation but quite incapable on their own of bringing it about. They advocate asceticism and repentance as important from both a practical and sacramental point of view. Protestant Christianity (particularly evangelical Christianity), with its emphasis on sola fide, asserts that salvation comes by way of grace through Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9) and is effected by faith alone.
