Matthew 1:21 (KJV)
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
Save? “Sozo” is the word for save in the original language of scripture. This word is applied three different ways to mean: To be delivered, to be healed, and to be made whole. Deliverance and healing are vehicles taken us to wholeness; ultimately salvation is to bring us to wholeness and soundness of spirit and mind concerning sin. For saving to be complete healing cannot take place until deliverance happens and deliverance is never complete until healing is complete; when these two work their full course is when wholeness becomes reality.
Finding JESUS, knowing JESUS, and learning JESUS is what saves us. He is the process in salvation; He is health to all nations, all people, and all humankind. He became human to deliver us, to heal us, and to bring us to wholeness. He shall be called JESUS – one who saves.
