What is Salvation?

Luke uses the terminology of “salvation” in a variety of ways, but Joel Green has argued that forgiveness, release, rescue, and healign are all directed toward the one end of creating “a christocentric community of God’s people.”

The church is the end of God’s saving activity. Incorporation inot this community that witnesses to the Risen Jesus is salvation.
