mortal sin : is a serious act against gods law & separates us from gods grace.
incarnation : is the mystery of the son of god becoming man (taking on human nature).
mediation :
venial sin : is a less serious sin, it weakens our relationship with god & the church.

Explanation:

To answer this, we define each term based on Christian theological concepts:

• Salvation: The deliverance of humanity from the slavery of sin and death through Jesus Christ. It's the process of being saved from sin’s consequences, achieved by Christ’s sacrifice.
• Mortal sin: A serious act against God’s law & separates one from God’s grace. It’s a grave sin (e.g., murder, adultery) that, if unrepented, leads to spiritual death (separation from God).
• Incarnation: The mystery of the Son of God (Jesus) becoming flesh (human). God’s Son took on human nature while remaining divine (John 1:14: “The Word became flesh”).
• Mediation: In Christianity, Jesus acts as the mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”). He bridges the gap caused by sin.
• Venial sin: A less serious sin; it weakens our relationship with God & the Church but doesn’t sever it (unlike mortal sin). Examples include minor dishonesty or impatience.

Answer:

• Salvation: Deliverance from sin/death via Jesus.
• Mortal sin: Grave act against God, severs grace.
• Incarnation: Son of God becomes human (divine + human nature).
• Mediation: Jesus as bridge between God & humanity.
• Venial sin: Less serious sin, weakens (not severs) relationship with God/Church.
