Why is Jesus considered our savior?
Matthew 1:21-23
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: 23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Luke 19:10
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Acts 4:12
12 Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
Catholic view (generated):
Jesus is considered our savior in Catholic theology because his death and resurrection redeem humanity from sin and offer the promise of eternal life. Through his sacrifice, he reconciles humanity with God and offers the grace necessary for salvation. His teachings and example also show us the way to live a life of love and forgiveness.
