Salvation, Saved - (Greek - Soterias, Sozo: from the root sōs which means safe and well). Salvation is also translated deliverance and preservation, and saved is also translated cured, ensured salvation, get well, made well, preserved, recovered, and restored.
Believing the loving word of promise in the heart aligns you with the promised salvation. Confession is made until the promised salvation manifests. Love is the reason for the promises of God. Faith is our heart’s response/agreement/alignment to the promises of God. Hope empowered confessions strengthen our perseverance and bring us to the manifestation of the promises of God.
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:8–10, NKJV)
