Strong's Lexicon sótéria: Salvation Original Word: σωτηρία Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: sótéria Pronunciation: so-tay-REE-ah Phonetic Spelling: (so-tay-ree'-ah) Definition: Salvation Meaning: welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb σώζω (sózó), meaning "to save" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3444 (יְשׁוּעָה, yeshua): Often translated as "salvation" or "deliverance," this term is used throughout the Old Testament to describe God's saving acts. - H3467 (יָשַׁע, yasha): A verb meaning "to save" or "to deliver," frequently used in the context of God's deliverance of Israel. Usage: In the New Testament, "sótéria" primarily refers to the deliverance from sin and its consequences, brought about by faith in Jesus Christ. It encompasses the ideas of rescue, safety, and preservation, both in a spiritual and eternal sense. The term is often used to describe the comprehensive work of God in saving humanity, including justification, sanctification, and glorification. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of salvation was often associated with physical rescue or deliverance from danger. However, in the Jewish and early Christian context, salvation took on a more profound spiritual dimension. It was understood as deliverance from sin and death, a theme deeply rooted in the Old Testament's anticipation of a Messiah who would bring ultimate redemption. The early Christians proclaimed Jesus as this Messiah, whose death and resurrection provided the means for eternal salvation.
