\u201cYour Faith Has Saved You\u201d<\/p>\n

In the story of the sinful woman who anointed Jesus, he forgave her sins and we read,
\nJesus said to the woman, \u2018Your faith has saved you; go in peace.\u2019
\n(Luke 7:50 NIV2011)<\/p>\n

What does the word \u201csave\u201d mean in the Gospels?<\/p>\n

In the story of the healing of Bartimaeus we read.
\n\u2018Go,\u2019 said Jesus, \u2018your faith has healed you.\u2019 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. (Mark 10:52 NIV2011)
\nSome translations say there, \u2019your faith has saved you.\u2019
\nIncluding N.T.Wright\u2019s New Testament for Everyone, the Geneva Bible and the Holman Christian Standard Bible.
\nThe Message translates that as \u201cyour faith has saved and healed you\u201d<\/p>\n

In the story of the healing of the ten lepers Jesus says to the one who returned to give thanks,
\n\u2018Rise and go; your faith has made you well.\u2019 (Luke 17:19 NIV2011)<\/p>\n

But again in other translations we read,
\n\u201cYour faith has saved you.\u201d
\nN.T. Wright\u2019s New Testament for Everyone, Geneva Bible 1599, HSCB, Evangelical Heritage Version, Expanded Bible, Lexham English Bible, New American Bible Revised,
\nAnd again the Message says, \u201cYour faith has healed and saved you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exactly the same word is sometimes translated \u201csave\u201d, and at other times \u201cheal\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u03c3\u03ce\u03b6\u03c9 (s\u00f3z\u00f3) \u201cI save\u201d<\/p>\n

In Matthew 15 x; Mark 14 x; Lk 17 x; Jn 6 x<\/p>\n

\u03c3\u03ce\u03b6\u03c9 (s\u00f3z\u00f3) has three broad meanings in the New Testament<\/p>\n

1.\tTO RESCUE from danger and to restore to a former state of safety and well being<\/p>\n

2.\tTO HEAL \u2013 to cause someone to become well again after having been sick<\/p>\n

3.\tTO BRING A PERSON TO THE BLESSINGS OF SPIRITUAL SALVATION<\/p>\n

TO RESCUE from danger and to restore to a former state of safety and well being
\nRescued from the danger of drowning: Matthew 8:25 and 14:30
\nJesus being delivered from death on the cross: Matthew 27:40 (par. Mk 15:30); 27:42b (par. Mk 15:31b and Lk 23:35b); 27:49; Luke 23:37, 39
\nBeing brought safely through a period of danger to life (Mt 10:22 and 24:13 par. Mk 13:13; cf. Mt 24:22 par. Mk 13:20).
\nMore metaphorically, where Jesus is like a shepherd who seeks out and saves the lost [sheep] Luke 19:10<\/p>\n

TO HEAL \u2013 to cause someone to become well again after having been sick
\nHealing from diseases or deliverance from demons:
\nMatthew 9:21 (par. Mk 5:28); 9:22a (par. Mk 5:34 and Lk 8:48); 9:22b;
\nMark 5:23; 6:56 10:52 (par. Lk 18:42); Luke 7:50; 8:36, 50; 17:19
\nHealing in a broad sense of doing whatever is needed to promote physical life and health.
\nNOTE \u2013 it can be unclear whether the meaning is \u201cYour faith has saved you\u201d or \u201cYour faith has made you well\u201d Mk 5:34 par. Lk 8:48; Mk 10:52 par. Lk 18:42; cf. Lk 8:50; 17:19.<\/p>\n

TO BRING A PERSON TO THE BLESSINGS OF SPIRITUAL SALVATION – \u2018to save\u2019
\nBeing saved includes the gift of eternal life. When Jesus met the rich young ruler, the phrases \u201cInherit eternal life\u201d = \u201center the kingdom of God\u201d = \u201cto be saved\u201d
\nBeing saved includes forgiveness of sin and rescue from eternal judgment. Jesus is to be given that name because \u201che will save his people from their sins.\u201d (Matthew 1:21)
\nFor God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:17)
\nFor I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. (John 12:47)<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the New Testament the spiritual is the predominant meaning of being saved.
\nAnd the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:47)
\nFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith\u201d (Ephesians 2:8)
\nIf you declare with your mouth, \u2018Jesus is Lord,\u2019 and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)<\/p>\n

So \u03c3\u03ce\u03b6\u03c9 (s\u00f3z\u00f3) has these three senses which all overlap within \u201cbeing saved\u201d:-
\nrescue from physical danger (e.g. storm)
\nhealing from physical illness (Bartimaeus)
\nspiritual salvation
\n\uf0d8\trescue from sin (Luke 7:52)
\n\uf0d8\tthe gift of all the blessings of eternal life
\nThe gospel we preach promises us all these blessings. Jesus said to Zacchaeus,
\n\u201cFor the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.\u201d (Luke 19:10)
\nAnd we receive these blessings now and into eternity by putting our trust in Jesus.
\n\u201cYour faith has made you well.
\n\u201dYour faith has saved you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
