He is the Savior of the Whole World
In John 4:42, the people of Samaria testified that Jesus is the Savior of the world. This declaration signifies that Jesus came not only for a select group of people but for all humanity. Here are some ways in which Jesus is the Savior of the whole world:
Redemption through His Sacrifice:
Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Through His death on the cross, Jesus paid the price for the sins of all individuals, offering the gift of salvation to anyone who believes in Him (John 3:16).
Universal Offer of Salvation:
1 Timothy 2:3-4 states, "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."
Jesus extends the invitation of salvation to all people, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Victory over Sin and Death:
1 Corinthians 15:22 proclaims, "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive."
Through His resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and death, providing the opportunity for all to receive eternal life.
Jesus offers salvation to everyone who accepts Him as their Savior, οἱ πιστεύοντες εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν" (hoi pisteuontes eis ton Iēsoun)-demonstrating God's love for the entire world.
And no, I'm not advocating universalism-back to @synergy.

Hebrews 1:2 and 11:3 - In some translations, particularly the King James Version (KJV), the term "worlds" appears:
Hebrews 1:2 (KJV): "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds."
Hebrews 11:3 (KJV): "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
Here, "worlds" translates the Greek word αἰῶνας (aionas), which primarily means "ages" or "periods of time" rather than literal, physical worlds. The term aionas suggests the created order or the various epochs of history under God's control, indicating that God, through Christ, created and ordered the entire scope of creation and time. Thus, "worlds" in these verses is more about God's dominion over all realms and epochs rather than a reference to multiple physical worlds.

Your advocating universalism. He is everyone saviour. Hitler can call Christ His Savior.
You know the verse. I am not playing your childish games.

Question begging your understanding of the word world of course.
Yup. I also know a Dodger when I see one.

1 John 4:14
"And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world"
John 4:42
"They said to the woman, 'It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world'"
John 8:24
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
John 12:47
"I did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world"
John 3:16-18
"God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him."
John 5:24
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.
Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Conclusion: Christ is the Savior of the whole world but only saves those who believe- those who do not believe in the Savior of the world are condemned- see John 3:18, 36 Jn 5:24, Mk 16:16 above. Let me know how many move verse you need to believe Jesus is the Savior of the world and those who do not believe will not be saved.
hope this helps !!!
