Matthew 1:21 (Short Commentary)

 (Matthew 1:21)"She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."  (ESV)

The name Jesus means the Lord saves.  Jesus did not just make salvation possible, he actually saved his people from their sins.  Christ accomplished salvation for the elect.  Salvation is the work of God alone.
