How to Say ‘God gives salvation.’ in Japanese
神さまは救いをくださいます。
kami sama wa sukui o kudasai masu
[kami sama wa sukui o kudasai masu]
💬 Usage Tip: [神さまは] is the topic, [救いを] is the object, and [くださいます] is a respectful “gives.” So the sentence literally flows as “As for God, [he] gives salvation.”
🇯🇵 In Japan: Using [神さま] with [さま] adds reverence. [さま] is an honorific stronger than [さん], often used for customers, deities, or deep respect.
