Salvation in christianity "Salvation" is the act of saving someone from sin or evil.
In John 3:16 it says that " For God so Love the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life".

This one of God's great plan for us to save from sin. He will deliver his Son to the world not to be serve but nor to serve us all people He Love.

We to entail these 5 words below into our mind and follow

The first we have to HEAR and Listen.
Romans 10:17 "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

What do you need to hear? Jesus is the Son of God who came to earth and died for our sins. Then rose and lives at the right hand of God. John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Mark 16:15 "And He [Jesus] said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'"

The second one that we should BELIEVE.
Acts 10:43 "Of Him allthe prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."

What do they need to believe? Jesus is the Son of God who came to earth and died for our sins. Then rose and lives at the right hand of God. (see John 3:16-17)
You may read also: Mark 16:16; John 8:24; and Romans 10:9. 

The third we should REPENT.
Luke 13:3 "... unless you repent you will all likewise perish."
Repent means "sorrow for sin that leads to a change". It also means "turning away from something (sin) and towards something else (God)."
You may read also: Matthew 3:2; Mark 1:15; 6:12; Acts 3:9; 17:30

The fourth we should CONFESS.
Romans 10:9 "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
We must believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and accept Him as our personal Savior!

To whom do we confess this belief in Jesus? EVERYONE!

The fifth BAPTIZED.
Acts 2:38 "... be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins;"
The Greek word "baptizo" (baptism) actually means "immersion". Baptism can only be done by completely immersing a person in water.
You may read also: Acts 22:16; Gal. 3:27; Col. 2:12; Romans 6:4; and I Peter 3:21.

And remember this in Matthew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in nthe name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
