This is not a quick topic, if I am to give you a full answer. First you need to know that the bible is always my text book to tell me all things. I am going to cover the following aspects of salvation:-
Why do I need saving?
What or whom do we need saving from?
Who gives us this salvation?
Can it be earned?
What benefit will I get from salvation?
Is it possible that I can be saved?
I may well think of other aspects as I go on. Many answers will overlap.
So let's start with, "Why do I need saving?" To find this out we need to go back to the garden of Eden and see how Adam and Eve rebelled against God. God had created them and placed them in a beautiful garden with many, many trees with fruit they were told they could eat. Such a variety and choice was there . And yet when Eve was tempted by the serpent she took and ate that one forbidden fruit. Then she gave some to Adam. they immediately knew what it was to feel guilt. We have all inherited that sin from Adam and Eve, I suppose in our DNA. Can you not see how you are tempted to do the very things you are told not to do? Even in something as simple as seeing a notice that says,"Do not walk on the grass." ? Or ,"Wet paint"? At once you want to touch it. If you are honest I do not have to labour the point, you know how sin attracts. Without going on to another topic I will just quote a verse from Paul, "The wages of sin is death." so why do I need saving? Because I am a sinner and sin brings death, eternal death. More at a later date.
