Jesus - Yahweh Saves
Description
The name 'Jesus' means 'Yahweh saves' or 'Yahweh is salvation.' He was given this name because He would save His people from their sins. There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. He is the Savior of the world, not just of Israel. He came to seek and save the lost. God sent not His Son to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. He is able to save to the uttermost all who come to God through Him.
