These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of deliverance and salvation found in the Old Testament, often pointing forward to the ultimate salvation fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ. Usage: The term σωτηρία is used in the New Testament to denote the concept of salvation, encompassing both physical deliverance and spiritual salvation. It is often used to describe the deliverance from sin and its consequences, brought about by faith in Jesus Christ. Context: The Greek word σωτηρία (sōtēria) is a central theological term in the New Testament, reflecting the comprehensive nature of God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ. It encompasses the ideas of rescue, safety, and preservation, both in a temporal and eternal sense. In the New Testament, σωτηρία is frequently associated with the deliverance from sin and death, achieved through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The concept of σωτηρία is multifaceted, involving justification, sanctification, and glorification. It is presented as a gift from God, received through faith, and not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). This salvation is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ, as stated in Romans 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes." In the Berean Standard Bible, σωτηρία is used in various contexts to emphasize different aspects of salvation. For instance, in Philippians 2:12, believers are encouraged to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling," highlighting the ongoing process of sanctification. In Hebrews 2:3, the author warns against neglecting "so great a salvation," underscoring the importance and value of the salvation offered through Christ. The New Testament also presents σωτηρία as a future hope, a final deliverance that will be fully realized at the return of Christ. In 1 Peter 1:5, believers are described as being "shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time." Overall, σωτηρία in the New Testament encapsulates the entirety of God's saving work, from the initial act of justification to the ultimate hope of eternal life with God.
