The entire New Testament Bible was written in the Koine Greek and "Soteria" is the Koine Greek word for eternal salvation or everlasting life. Soteria is an all-encompassing vocabulary word or term that depicts many things in one, such as the deliverance (from sin, Satan and sinful nature or Adamic sinful nature), preservation (saved and to be kept alive for God's glory), safety (kept away from evils), eternal justification (becomes God's righteous one through your faith alone in Jesus Christ alone), sanctification (set apart and transforms gradually through the intake of God's word into the full image of Jesus Christ in this present life) and healing or sound health. Are you eternally saved or not?
Eternal salvation or the everlasting life is not a clear conscience, a spiritual education, a biblical knowledge, a life of morality, an emotional experience that is deep, an act of worship, joining a local Church, holding a leadership roles in a local Church, fasting, praying, paying your tithes and offerings to your Church or pastor, baptisms, good works, doing humanitarian activities and reading the Scriptures daily as a way of life. Eternal salvation or everlasting life is simply your FAITH alone in the person and the finished work of JESUS CHRIST alone.
