Salvation

Introduction There are various perceptions of salvation; including what it is and how it can be attained. In one of the most widely quoted passages of Acts, Luke lays out his belief of how salvation is found.

Jesus assured them that in ancient scriptures, it was written that a messiah will be born and eventually killed. Another relation between the video and the course material is that Jesus…
