 When you read the Old Testament, there's so many verses about God as Savior. You can look at it. 1 Samuel 10, verse 19 is a great verse for this. Isaiah 45, verse 15. Isaiah 45, verse 21 talks about the same, especially if you read the Greek Old Testament, it's the same word that Luke uses here in Luke 2, 11. Now, for the pagans, this word Savior meant something completely different.
