Helenmm Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Q2. "Save" and "Savior" are used so much in Christian circles that they have become almost jargon words that we don't even think about. What are synonyms for "save" and "Savior"? What does a "Savior" actually do to earn the name? I think a saviour is one who gets you out of an impossible situation. He intervenes in a way that the sufferer is totally unable to do, and removes the problem, freeing up the victim. Synonyms for "save" and "Saviour" might be "Guarantor" or backer.

charisbarak Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Synonyms for "save" and "savior" could be "deliver" and "deliverer." A deliverer would be one taking someone out of an impossible, impassible, seemingly impregnable (sp?) problem. This deliverer would pull that someone from death to life, bondage to freedom and/or hopelessness to hopefulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJeff Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Synonyms for "save" are deliver, redeem, rescue, bail out. For "Savior"; deliverer, redeemer, rescuer, saver. To earn the name of Savior there must be an action, an act that deserves the recognition of the name. In the case of Our Savior, He did all of the aforementioned synonyms by His birth, sinless life, death and resurrection. By His birth He was the Deliverer. By His sinless life He was the perfect sacrifice thereby an acceptable price for our redemption. With His death, He rescued us from certain death by eternal separation from God the Father. With all, by His name we are saved (bailed out, if you will). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickledilly Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Some synonyms for the words "save" and "Savior" are rescue[r], redeem[er], liberate[-or], restore[r]. I'm reminded of something I learned a couple of years ago when I came to understand my salvation in the sense of restoration. My relationship with Yahweh was broken by sin like a shattered mirror, and nothing I could do on my own could ever repair it. I might try to put pieces back together, but the image reflected would always be fractured and distorted and missing something. Jesus Christ the Savior gave me a new "mirror", a new capacity to reflect God's image and holiness properly, when He gave me His own Holy Spirit. God's primary purpose in my life is to make me holy. That is accomplished through many things that I am unqualified and unsupplied to do for myself, including rescuing me from sin, delivering me from its consequences, redeeming me to be consecrated and sanctified, liberating me to personally relate to God and reflect His holy image, and restoring to me all that had been lost when the relationship He designed me for was shattered. Jesus truly is my Savior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda bass Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Some synomyns for "save" and "Savior defend(er) protect(or) rescue[r] deliver(er) liberate[r] ransom(er) A "Savior" is someone who risks his life in order to rescue others from danger. A fireman who goes into a burning building, at risk to his own life, in order to rescue a child trapped inside would be considered a savior. Also a "Savior" could be one who gives up his life for the cause of freedom. Our servicemen and women who died in battle thruout the years in order that America may remain a free nation, could be consider saviors. Jesus earned the name "Savior" because He was willing to give up His own life in order to rescue us from our sins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.c Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 What are synonyms for saved and saviour? What does a "Saviour" do to earn the name? The words that come immediately to mind are: free, protect, rescue, unburden, guide, strengthen, provide refuge, feed and sustain and give life. A true Saviour must give all these things to warrant the name. Jesus does this and more. He loves us and looks over us. His plan for our life is in our best interest. As a disciple He has provided the teaching and guidance for every aspect of our lives. Through His sacrifice He has saved us from sin and death and makes it possible to come to God. The salvation that He offers is complete and enduring. No other saviour could match what He gives us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Christ gave his life to free us from every kind of sin,to cleanse us,and to make us his very own people,totally committed to doing what is right.(TITUS1:14) Salvation's source is grace from the savior. the means is faith in the savior. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only Savior Jesus is the Savior also because He is God incarnate, fully human and fully divine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaitlin Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Synonyms (from Roget's New Millennium Thesaurus) Save: bail out, defend, deliver, emancipate, extricate, free, liberate, ransom, recover, redeem,rescue, salvage, set free, spring, unchain, unshackle Savior: Good Samaritan*, conservator, defender, deliverer, guardian, guardian angel, hero, knight, liberator, messiah, preserver, protector, rescuer, salvager, salvation *=informal/slang It really bothers me when God is disrepected and his name, character, and commandments are thrown around so lightly. Not that I think I am so much better than them, because like Paul said, I am the worse of sinners, yet people have no idea what they are doing, who they are mocking. One place I have seen this a lot lately is in choir at the college where I go, we are working on part of Handel's Messiah for Christmas, and the way the term Messiah as well as things in specific parts of the song have been mocked at times in our rehersals is really sad to me. When ever we practice it in rehersal, I so easily enter into an attitude of worship, and find it to be more a time of praise than just a time to practice. It's mostly, if not completely scripture, and singing it is such powerful meditation for me. The songs get stuck in my head and I can just soak in God's words, the words are so true, right from the first chorus--"And the glory, the glory of the Lord, shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together." For me the glory of the Lord truly is revealed, yet I can only imagine that as God hears us sing each Mon/Wed/Fri in choir, that it is such a bittersweet song. While I know there are those of us who truly seek God and love His word, there are others who, right before and right after their mouths proclaim God's glory, from the same mouth let curses come forth from the abundance of their hearts. Our society has devalued the work or and need of a savior to such an extent that it is difficult to say what a Savior really does. For many, a savior is just someone with a fairly good idea for fixing a problem. For many, a savior is by no means a neccesity. For me, with Christ as my Savior, He is the one, and only one, who could provide the only solution. To, Christ as my Savior is exclusive, irreplacable, irrepayable. Without Him, I would have been a hopeless, dying, worthless, nobody. He restores me, and takes me beyond restoration. He is taking me from glory to glory, continuing the good work He has begun in me, bringing it to completion on that glorious day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Q2. "Save" and "Savior" are used so much in Christian circles that they have become almost jargon words that we don't even think about. What are synonyms for "save" and "Savior"? What does a "Savior" actually do to earn the name? Synonyms include (most importantly), deliver/deliverer; rescue/rescuer; and redeem/redeemer. A savior earns the name by saving someone. In the case of Jesus Christ, He saved humanity from the consequences of sin. He becomes the individual's savior if one confesses their sins to God in the name of Jesus Christ and the blood He shed on the cross for human sin. All those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
