Reference: Saviour
Easton
one who saves from any form or degree of evil. In its highest sense the word indicates the relation sustained by our Lord to his redeemed ones, he is their Saviour. The great message of the gospel is about salvation and the Saviour. It is the "gospel of salvation." Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ secures to the sinner a personal interest in the work of redemption. Salvation is redemption made effectual to the individual by the power of the Holy Spirit.

moshia', Greek soter. Salvation from all kinds of danger and evil, bodily, spiritual, temporal, and eternal (Mt 1:21; Eph 5:23; Php 3:20-21), including also the idea restorer and preserver, giver of positive life and blessedness, as well as saviour from evil (Isa 26:1; 2Sa 8:6; Isa 60:18; 61:10; Ps 118:25), deliverer, as the judges were saviours (margin Jg 3:9,15; Ne 9:27; Jeroboam II, 2Ki 13:5; Ob 1:21). (See SALVATION; HOSANNA; REDEEMER.) Isaiah, Joshua or Jeshua, Jesus, Hoshea, Hosea, are various forms of the is associated with the idea, and the term Redeemer (goel) implies how God can be just and at the same time a saviour of mall (Isa 43:3,11; 45:15,21-25; 41:14; 49:26; 9:16-17; Zec 9:9; Ho 1:7).
Man cannot save himself temporally or spiritually; Jehovah alone can save (Job 40:14; Ps 33:16; 44:3,7; Ho 13:4,10). The temporal saviour is the predominant idea in the Old Testament; the spiritual and eternal saviour of the whole man in the New Testament Israel' s saviour, national and spiritual, finally (Isa 62:11; Ro 11:25-26). Salvation is secured in title to believers already by Christ's purchase with His blood; its final consummation shall be at His coming again; in this sense salvation has yet "to be revealed" (1Pe 1:5; Heb 9:28; Ro 5:10). Salvation negatively delivers us from three things: (1) the penalty, (2) the power, (3) the presence of sin. Positively it includes the inheritance of glory, bliss, and life eternal in and with God our Saviour.

This title is in the O.T. applied to Jehovah. The term in itself implies that some oppression exists or some danger impends from which salvation is needed. God says, "All flesh shall know that I Jehovah am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob." Isa 49:26; 60:16. In the N.T. man is plainly declared to be lost, and the title 'Saviour' is applied both to God and to Christ. "The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world," 1Jo 4:14; and the very name of Jesus conveys the thought of a Saviour. His becoming this involved His meeting vicariously the question of sin and sins, which He did on the cross. The expression occurs in Paul's later epistles of 'God our Saviour,' or 'our Saviour-God,' indicating the attitude which God occupies towards all men. How gladly all His saints say, "To the only wise God our Saviour be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen." God is also declared to be "the Saviour of all men" in a providential sense, and men probably little know how much they are indebted to His preserving care. 1Ti 4:10. See SALVATION.
