Usage: The Greek verb "sózó" primarily means "to save" or "to deliver." In the New Testament, it is used to describe both physical and spiritual salvation. Physically, it can refer to healing from illness or rescue from danger. Spiritually, it denotes the salvation of the soul, deliverance from sin, and the granting of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. The term encapsulates the comprehensive work of salvation, including justification, sanctification, and glorification.
Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of salvation was often associated with deliverance from physical danger or harm. However, in the Jewish context, salvation had a deeper theological significance, encompassing deliverance from sin and restoration to a right relationship with God.
Now what kind of Savior and Salvation it would be, if the ones to save were not put into possession of Salvation wrought for them by their Saviour ? Its the Savior's
responsibility to save the sinner, and put them in a right relationship with God Spiritually, inwardly. Now did Jesus succeed as Saviour of His People ? If just one of them be lost, He is a failure !
