Why is Jesus called Savior?

The title 'Savior' is central to the mission of Jesus as articulated in Matthew 1:21, where the angel announces that He will save His people from their sins. This highlights not only the action of salvation but the necessity of it due to the fallen state of humanity. By taking on the punishment that we deserved, Jesus redeems us from sin and its consequences, restoring our relationship with God. This role as Savior underscores the core of Christian faith, affirming that salvation is found solely through Christ's work on the cross.
