THE BIBLICAL TERMINOLOGY
I. THE OLD TESTAMENT USAGE
The most important Hebrew root word related to salvation in the Old Testament is yasha˒.
Originally it meant to be roomy or broad in contrast to narrowness or oppression.
Thus it signifies freedom from what binds or restricts, and it came to mean deliverance, liberation, or giving width and breadth to something.
Sometimes this deliverance came through the agency of man (e.g., through judges,
8:22; 12:2;

Sometimes salvation is individual
) and sometimes corporate, that is, of the nation (, though all the world will share in it, 45:22; 49:6).
In the Old Testament salvation was not only a deliverance from some trouble but also a deliverance to the Lord for His special purpose (43:11–12; 49:6).

Faith was the necessary condition for salvation in the Old Testament as well as in the New.
Abraham believed in the Lord, and the Lord counted it to him for righteousness ().
The Hebrew prefix beth indicates that Abraham confidently rested his faith on God (cf. ; ).
The covenant relationship established by the Mosaic Law also implied that an Israelite had to have faith in the God of that covenant if he were to be pleasing to Him and not be cut off.

THE NEW TESTAMENT USAGE
In both the Septuagint and the New Testament the Greek verb sōzō and its cognates sōtēr and sōtēria usually translate yasha˒ and its respective nouns.
However, a number of times the sōzō group translates shalom, peace or wholeness, and its cognates.
Thus salvation can mean cure, recovery, remedy, rescue, redemption, or welfare.
This can be related to preservation from danger, disease, or death

But word usage does not begin to fathom all that the biblical revelation declares about salvation.
Other concepts like sacrifice, redemption, reconciliation, propitiation, and justification are vital to a full understanding of the doctrine.
These will be considered later, but I mention them now lest anyone think that the doctrine is built only on the words related to saving.
Salvation affects the whole person.
Nevertheless, the removal of man’s fallen nature and the receiving of a resurrection body awaits a future day.
But this is also a part of our salvation
