Which statement describes salvation in Christian belief?

• A. Salvation is achieved by human effort alone
• B. Salvation involves cooperation with God's grace
• C. Salvation is automatic regardless of faith
• D. Salvation is impossible for humans

Answer: (B)

Salvation in Christian belief is the gift of God’s grace offered to people, received through faith and lived out in response to that grace. God initiates salvation by showing mercy and forgiveness, and humans cooperate by trusting Jesus, repenting, and choosing to live in obedience. This means grace empowers a real response rather than leaving salvation to human effort alone, and it isn’t something earned automatically or impossible for humans to obtain with God’s help.
