The term is often associated with God's intervention in the lives of individuals and nations, providing rescue from physical danger, sin, and spiritual death. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "saves" is "yasha," which conveys the idea of deliverance, rescue, or salvation. One of the most prominent examples is found in the account of the Exodus, where God saves the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. <a href="/exodus/14-30.htm">Exodus 14:30</a> states, "That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore." The theme of God as a savior is recurrent in the Psalms, where the psalmists frequently call upon God for deliverance from enemies and distress. <a href="/psalms/18-3.htm">Psalm 18:3</a> declares, "I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies." New Testament Context In the New Testament, the Greek word "sōzō" is commonly used to denote salvation. The New Testament expands the concept of salvation to include not only physical deliverance but also spiritual salvation through Jesus Christ. <a href="/matthew/1-21.htm">Matthew 1:21</a> proclaims, "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins." The central message of the New Testament is the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. <a href="/john/3-17.htm">John 3:17</a> emphasizes this, stating, "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him." This salvation is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ, as affirmed in <a href="/romans/10-9.htm">Romans 10:9</a> : "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Theological Significance Theologically, the concept of "saves" encompasses both justification and sanctification. Justification refers to the act of being declared righteous before God through faith in Jesus Christ, while sanctification is the process of being made holy through the work of the Holy Spirit. <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a> underscores the grace of salvation: "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." Eschatological Hope The Bible also speaks of a future aspect of salvation, where believers will be saved from the presence of sin and enjoy eternal life with God. This eschatological hope is captured in <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-9.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:9</a> : "For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." Practical Implications The assurance of salvation has practical implications for the believer's life, encouraging a response of gratitude, obedience, and evangelism. The Great Commission in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a> calls believers to share the message of salvation: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you." In summary, the biblical concept of "saves" is multifaceted, encompassing God's deliverance from physical danger, spiritual death, and eternal separation from Him. It is a central theme that underscores God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ and the hope of eternal life for all who believe.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4990.htm">4990. soter -- a savior, deliverer</a> ...
