If you say he saved us by sending his son → then why you say Jesus (son) is our savior not fathers our savior?
If you say he saved us by his death on the cross → But God doesn't die.
So how did God save you?

God accepted His Son's plan and allowed for His Son to descend in the flesh and take upon Him the Sins of all mankind. Jesus Christ is the Savior, but all glory was/is to His Father. We lean this in the Bible, that Jesus was doing the will of the Father, but made the choice on His own. Because of Christ's choice and willingness to take upon Him the Bitter Cup, we each will live again and can be redeems or saved from our sins. It is therefore by the grace of God that He sent His Son, and thereby saved us also.

God was the only one that could die for the sins of man- we are talking about a physical death here. Because Jesus was perfect and did not deserve to die- he was the only one "eligible" to take on the task of being punished for everyone's sins.
Your right- God didn't die- He died physically, but not spiritually. God is divine and there are many things we can not explain fully. That is were "faith" comes in- to believe in something you can not fully understand or comprehend.
You have to understand that Jesus and God the Father are really one being. You can say God the Father our savior, but Jesus was God the Father incarnate so it makes more sense to say Jesus our savior.
God saved us by paying the price for our sins- death. If he did not take our place on the cross then we would all deserve death. God looks at our "Goodness" as a filthy rag compared to him. So, no matter how "good" we think we are, God is so holy and righteous that he can not accept that. If we sin ONE time, it's enough to qualify us for hell and eternal separation from peace, happiness, and God. God's justice is righteous and will be upon every person when they die. What side are you going to be on? Will you be on his right side? or on his left? When God asks you why he should let you enter into heaven, what would you say?

You don't understand the relationship that Jesus has with his Father. Also, you don't understand that Jesus existed as the "Word of God" before all that ever came to be, emptied himself to take on the form of a man, and was crucified as it was prophecied that he would in the Old Testament.
So he became a man, "thought it not robbery to be equal with God", and "took away the sins of the world." So as a man he died. As God he remained true to his own words from the Old Testament.
God saves us as he said he would in the Old Testament. Here a little quote from the Old Testament Bible;
9 He had done no wrong
and had never deceived anyone.
But he was buried like a criminal;
he was put in a rich man’s grave.
10 But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him
and cause him grief.
Yet when his life is made an offering for sin,
he will have many descendants.
He will enjoy a long life,
and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.
11 When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
he will be satisfied.
And because of his experience,
my righteous servant will make it possible
for many to be counted righteous,
for he will bear all their sins.
So it was done, and all we have to do is trust him for it.

God the father sent his only begotten (not created) son to earth as a man in order to fix man's mistake (sin), he became the perfect sacrifice. Jesus was fully man (suffered, died, etc) but also fully GOD (RESURRECTED 3 days later!, forgave sins, etc.) Jesus saved us from our sins by his blood.
In the old testament, the jews sacrificed a real lamb and then ate of the actual lamb (not a symbol) for temporal forgiveness of sins, in the new testament, Jesus became the perfect "lamb of God" , which was sacrificed at the cross and therefore many christians also eat of the actual Lamb (Jesus) in the eucharist, just like the Jews did in the old testament to signify, a shared covenant btwn. God and his people.
Jesus said, "I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh." John 6:51

Because Jesus is not a part of a trinity (Mark 13:32-33) or the same as his father (John 14:28) but he is the Son of God (Mat 14:33) who was born onto the earth (John 1:14) and died for humanity. (2Cr 5:21)

I wonder why you keep flogging a dead horse. You have asked this question so many times, but in different ways. I have repeatedly answered you by saying that the problem is in your refusal to even attempt to understand a little bit more of the doctrine of the Trinity and the Incarnation. You will never understand if you are not even attempting to. But then again, it doesn't sound like you are seeking understanding, but rather seeking undermining of the Christian faith.

Christ is our savior because He died personally for us.
technically, no one "dies" as souls live on. Christ's body died as his heart stopped beating...and you have to admit, if you look at all the real emotional (feeling separated from the Father), mental (He was always opposed, mocked), physical (spear in His side, nails through his hands and feet, his blood ran out of his body), verbal (mocked, doubted, lied upon) and sexual abuse (being basically naked in public) Christ went through, you can't say that wasn't special.
and you know how God saved me. just like He saved anyone else. He sacrificed Himself for our sins, and we accepted his sacrifice, making Him our Lord and Savior.

When He sent His Son to earth to be born of a virgin and to lay down His life as the perfect sacrifice as propitiation for our sins.
It is only THROUGH and BECAUSE of the BLOOD that Jesus shed for us that actually PAID the price for our redemption.
Lev. 17:11. -- IT IS THE BLOOD THAT MAKES ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL.
Hebrews 9L22. -- WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD, THERE IS NO REMISSION OF SIN.
SOOOO.....When you hear the gospel of Jesus and the invitation
to believe on Him by faith, it is accounted to you for righteousness
-- but BECAUSE the BLOOD is there to back it up.
Forgive me for putting it in these terms, but the BLOOD is like the
CURRENCY that our salvation and our faith depend on and is drawn on, if that is the correct way of putting it, like if you write a check, there has to be something in the bank or else your check will bounce.....
Salvation is not based on just crossing your fingers and HOPING you'll make it to heaven when you leave this world....You can know...and you MUST make sure NOW while you are still alive on
this world......
You can't get your ticket after the plane takes off, so to speak....
And also you PERSONALLY and INDIVIDUALLY must RECEIVE
Jesus as your Savior.
It is NOT automatic that because Jesus died that EVERYONE is already a child of God and WILL go to Heaven....
God respects the FREE WILL of every person and will not force
anybody to serve Him or receive His mercy and so, therefore, you
need to receive Jesus if you WANT to be saved.....and spend eternity in Heaven.....
If not, you don't have to do anything...You (anyone) can just totally
disregard Jesus and what He did for you on the cross and receive
the condemnation that satan will choose for you when Adam sold
out to him in the garden of eden.
It's either God or satan....
It's either . . .HEAVEN....OR NO HEAVEN...... :-)
It is YOUR choice and your RESPONSIBILITY and nobody can
blame God if they leave this world and end up in hell.....
GOD DOESN'T DO "PLEA BARGAINS" AND HELL HAS NO PAROLE BOARD!!!!!
IT IS ETERNITY....WITHOUT ANY CHANCE OF PAROLE!!!!!
BEHOLD....TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.......
WHAT WILL BE THE END OF THOSE WHO OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL......????
PLEASE....IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT YOUR ETERNITY, CALL THIS NUMBER AND TALK WITH SOMEONE....
1-8OO-759-O7OO -- It's 7OO Club here in the USA.....
DON'T PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH ETERNITY -- YOU WILL LOSE!!! :-(
GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED.....
JOHN 8:24 - ACTS 4:12 - JOHN 3:16 - MATT.7:13.14
In reference to yourself...The eternal Son of God took on flesh, so
that He could come here and give His life as a ransom for us. He made Himself obedient to death.
That is what Christmas is all about...God sending His Son to be born into our world, as one of us -- Angels could not die for us or save us -- only Jesus could --and He did and His Father raised
Him back to life, totally victorious over death and sin and satan for
all eternity....Amen!!!

God saved us because we were all sinners doomed to go to hell
Romans 6 vs 23
because all fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3 vs 23
God saved us because we were all doomed to go to hell. However he sent his son to die on the cross for us. Jesus actually went to hell for three days before he rose again. He endured our pain for us. Now we have a choice. If we choose not to believe in him then we are choosing hell for our eternity. The bible says you must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. You must confess with thy mouth that you believe that Jesus Christ is your personal Lord and Savior and believe that he died on the cross for you. Get yourself a King James bible and read the following scripture for your review. Good luck!!!
John chapter 3 vs 3
John chapter 12 vs 43-48
Romans chapter 10 vs 9-13
11 Corrinthians chapter 5 vs 10
1 Thessalonians chapter 4 vs 13-17
The Revelation chapter 1 vs 7
The Revelation chapter 13 vs 8-18
The Revelation chapter 20 vs 12-15
