For an enlightened view on what salvation is, let’s examine some terminology that we may or may not have heard: born again, eternal life, saved, salvation. All of these terms mean the same thing. When an individual receives salvation, he or she is born again. St. John 3:3 says, “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus tells Nicodemus that except a man be born again he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
