What does the Bible say about the name of Jesus?

The name Jesus, as given by God, signifies His purpose in coming to the world: to save His people from their sins. In Matthew 1:21, it is explicitly stated, 'She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.' This name was not chosen by Mary and Joseph but was divinely appointed by God, representing the work that Jesus was destined to accomplish. Just as Joshua, a type of Christ, led Israel into the promised land, Jesus fulfills that role perfectly by bringing salvation and restoration to His people.
