Salvation is being saved or protected from harm or being saved or delivered from a dire situation. In religion, salvation is saving of the soul from sin and its consequences.

It may also be called "deliverance" or "redemption" from sin and its effects. Historically, salvation is considered to be caused either by the grace of a deity (i.e. unmerited and unearned); by the independent choices of a free will and personal effort (i.e. earned and/or merited); or by some combination of the two.
Christianity is a global religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, who followers believe is the Son of God.

Christianity is based on the Bible, with the Old Testament and New Testament serving as sacred texts.
