  Saviour 
  n  1:  a  prophet  of  the  first  century  (circa  8  BC  -  29  AD);  to 
  Christians  he  was  both  God  and  man--the  Messiah  sent  to 
  save  the  human  race  from  the  sin  it  inherited  through 
  the  Fall  of  Man  [syn:  {Jesus},  {Jesus  of  Nazareth},  {Jesus 
  Christ},  {Christ},  {Savior},  {Saviour},  {Good  Shepherd}, 
  {Redeemer}]

  {rescuer},  {deliverer}] 
 
  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Saviour 
  one  who  saves  from  any  form  or  degree  of  evil.  In  its  highest 
  sense  the  word  indicates  the  relation  sustained  by  our  Lord  to 
  his  redeemed  ones,  he  is  their  Saviour.  The  great  message  of  the 
  gospel  is  about  salvation  and  the  Saviour.  It  is  the  "gospel  of 
  salvation."  Faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  secures  to  the  sinner 
  a  personal  interest  in  the  work  of  redemption.  Salvation  is 
  redemption  made  effectual  to  the  individual  by  the  power  of  the 
  Holy  Spirit.
