Explore “Sozo,” the multifaceted Greek word for salvation, in this third installment of the “Key Words” series. Discover its range of meanings in the New Testament: rescue from physical danger (like Peter sinking in the waves), physical healing (like the woman touching Jesus’s garment), and deliverance from enemy forces (both political, like Rome, and spiritual). Understand how the New Testament writers redeemed the term “Soter” (savior)—often used self-aggrandizingly by Greek kings and Roman Caesars—by applying it uniquely to Jesus. Learn that the ultimate meaning of Sozo is salvation from sin (lawlessness) and into God’s love, restoring us to the people we were created to be.
