And Christ

This word for salvation shares its root with the name Yeshua, Jesus. The rescue the Hebrew Scriptures longed for is, Christians believe, embodied in the one who bears salvation in his very name.

The lexical data on this page comes from the public-domain Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance (James Strong, 1890), a Hebrew and Greek dictionary keyed to the King James Bible. It is a reference tool, not a settled verdict: no single word decides a doctrine, and meaning is finally shaped by how a word is used in its sentences.
