what name means savior
J.C. Ryle. The name Jesus means Savior.. It is the same name as Joshua in the Old Testament. It is given to our Lord because He saves His people from their sins.. This is His special role. He saves them from the guilt of sin, by cleansing them in His own atoning blood.
2) One must understand what the name Yeshua meant in the first century AD, and the NT tells us that. Because Yeshua is the short form of a name meaning Yahweh is salvation, it is highly appropriate that this is the name of the Savior of the world, as Matthew 1:21 attests. But our citizenship is in heaven.
