Acts 2:21
Previous Verse
Acts 2:21
Next Verse

And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Note 7 at Ac 2:21: The word "salvation" is found 164 times in the Bible--117 times in the Old Testament and 45 times in the New Testament. Variations of this word such as "save," "saved," etc., are used hundreds of other times. "Salvation" is used as an all-inclusive word to denote all the acts and processes of God's redemption of mankind. One of the great tragedies in the church has been the association of the word "salvation" with the initial forgiveness of sins only.

As can be clearly seen here by comparing Peter's quote with the original passage from Joe 2:32, salvation and deliverance are the same thing. Deliverance is a part of our salvation, as is healing, prosperity, righteousness, justification, forgiveness, sanctification, and glorification.

The Greek word translated "saved" in this passage is "SOZO." This word was translated "save" or "saved" ninety-four times in the New Testament. SOZO was used of deliverance from danger or suffering in Mt 8:25, 14:30; Joh 12:27; 1Ti 2:15; and Jude 5. In Jas 5:15, it was used when referring to physical healing ("shall save"). SOZO was also translated "whole" or "made whole" eleven other times in reference to a physical healing (Mt 9:21-22 [three times]; Mr 5:28 [once], 34 [once]; 6:56 [once]; 10:52 [once]; Lu 8:48 [once], 50 [once]; 17:19 [once]; and Ac 4:9 [once]; see note 2 at Mt 8:17).
