Why is Jesus called Savior and Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called Savior because He saves His people from sin, and Christ signifies Him as the anointed one appointed by God.

The name 'Jesus' means 'Savior,' as seen in Matthew 1:21, which tells us He will save His people from their sins. This emphasizes the necessity of His role in our salvation from the guilt and penalty of sin. Additionally, 'Christ' signifies that He is the anointed one, appointed by God to mediate between God and man and fulfill the promises made throughout the Old Testament. His dual identity highlights that Jesus is both our Savior and the prophesied Messiah, essential for the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.
