Salvation

CRITICAL: shares its root (י-ש-ע) with the name Yeshua itself (Matthew 1:21’s ‘he will save/yoshia his people’ - a real etymological pun worth teaching, not just a risk to manage). The risk: Jewish thought defaults yeshu’ah toward corporate/national deliverance (from exile, at the Messianic Age) rather than Paul’s individual, present, eternal deliverance from sin. גאולה (ge’ulah, redemption) names a related but distinct concept and is kept separate, not used interchangeably.
