the greek word for saved is "sozo", or so I've been told

It is by the ability, the power, and the work of God that I have been saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved, made to do well, made whole, kept safe, and rescued from destruction, through believing the truth about Jesus Christ—this is not done by me, it is a gift from God –not earned, not deserved, not even worked towards, so that I cannot boast about anything except Christ.

It is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God —not by works, so that no one can boast.

  • Isn't "sozo" also the Led Zeppelin logo?

    Perhaps I have that wrong. But it would make for an interesting discussion...

  • The Led Zep thing was ZOFO, from the 4th album. It would still make an interesting discussion though, don't you think?
