Christians call the Lord Jesus Christ the Savior. All Orthodox prayer books retain this appeal to Jesus. This titular name is fixed even in some masterpieces of world architecture and art of different countries of the world, which is not accidental and has its reflection in the general Christian consciousness.
The Bible tells a person that Christ came into the world, so that all who believe in Him will receive eternal life. Holy Scripture tells of the love of God for people that is so strong that for the sake of the salvation of mankind, Christ undergoes even death on the cross.
Precisely because Christ saved His humanity and is called the Savior. However, not everyone clearly understands what the salvation of people was, thanks to which Jesus was named so. Christ the Savior because only after his death on the cross does a person again have the opportunity to be in paradise. After the moment of the fall, there was a gap between God and man. Adam and Eve were expelled from paradise, which was then on earth. With sin, death enters the world, after which all people go to hell. There where there is no divine light. This continued until the death of Christ on the cross. When the Lord was embodied and became a man like us in everything except sin, He should not have died. After all, death, according to the teachings of Christianity, is a consequence of the fallen sinful nature of people. But Christ dies on the cross, descends to hell and leads from there all who believe in Him. It turns out that the Lord saves a person from eternal stay in hell and gives people the opportunity to return to paradise.
Christ is called the Savior by Christians also because he saved people from the slavery of sin, the devil and the curse. Salvation from the slavery of sin lies in the possibility of man (with the help of grace) to achieve holiness. The slavery of the devil is afflicted by Christ to the extent that hell no longer owns the afterlife of all people. Therefore, the curse on eternal torment is now lifted.
After the death of Christ on the cross, everyone has the opportunity to turn to God and unite with him on a spiritual mystical level. It remains only to show your desire and will to good.
