Why is the name Jesus important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The name Jesus signifies His role as the Savior, as it means 'He shall save His people from their sins' (Matthew 1:21).

The name 'Jesus' is central to Christian faith because it embodies His divine mission. In Matthew 1:21, the angel instructs Joseph to name the child Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. This name, given by divine revelation, highlights His role as the Savior and emphasizes the God-ordained plan of salvation. For Christians, recognizing His name is crucial as it not only identifies Him but also encapsulates the redemptive work He accomplished through His death and resurrection, making Him the only hope for salvation.
