Why is it important that Jesus is the King who saves?

The kingship of Christ is vital in understanding His role in salvation. In Psalm 72, the prayer for the king emphasizes the righteous rule that brings salvation. Only a king with the power of authority can assure victory over our spiritual enemies—sin, death, and the devil. Christ's title as King is closely linked to His responsibility to save. As we learn in Acts 4:12, there is no salvation in anyone else; Jesus bears this title because He actively saves His people. This kingship, therefore, solidifies our hope and trust in Him as our Savior.
