What does the Bible say about Christ as our Savior?

The Bible emphasizes that Christ, as our Savior, is central to God's redemptive plan. In Matthew 1:21, it clearly states that Jesus 'shall save his people from their sins.' This declaration portrays Christ's mission as not just a general benevolence but a targeted action toward those chosen by God. It is through His sacrificial death and resurrection that salvation is secured, demonstrating God's sovereignty over all creation and His specific purpose in saving His people. Moreover, the concept of Christ as the one who fulfills the covenant of redemption underscores the historic Reformed understanding that salvation is a work of God, rooted in grace and love from before creation.
