how would you define salvation?

I was asked this question the other day, and it was pretty hard to define it, how would you define salvation?

Jeremy I'd say being saved from damnation and not being an enemy of God anymore.:)

Romans 5:1-2
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

Romans 6:11
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

redemption from the penalty of sin

I think everyone has a different opinion about it, I think of it as being free from your sins, and forgiven, plus having eternal life.

I think it means that someone paid a debt He did not owe, to pay a debt we could not pay

nicely put......and to four5.0snomore....does your sig mean to give your soul/heart/mind to get salvation/eternal life ?
