3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Saviour
   one who saves from any form or degree of evil. In its highest
   sense the word indicates the relation sustained by our Lord to
   his redeemed ones, he is their Saviour. The great message of the
   gospel is about salvation and the Saviour. It is the "gospel of
   salvation." Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ secures to the sinner
   a personal interest in the work of redemption. Salvation is
   redemption made effectual to the individual by the power of the
   Holy Spirit.
