- "Slaves of sin....slaves of God"-Romans
- "The son of man came... to give his life as a ransom for many"
- Justification ( transformation away from sin)-The idea that humans are joined again with God because they've been transformed away from sin into holy people as a result of experiencing God's grace through Jesus
- " Justification detaches man from sin... it reconciles man with God"-CCC
- It's important to realize that this does not mean everyone is automatically saved, because of free will God can only offer salvation-it's up to the individual to accept the offer
