The Savior Saves Saviors

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Obadiah talks about a future day when he says "saviours shall come up on mount Zion." In the scriptures when it talks about saviors in the plural it is referring to God's people as saviors both spiritually and temporally. We are to become saviors both spiritually and temporally.

Christ saves His people, both individuals, families, and His church, and seeks to save all mankind, both the living and the dead, by teaching them to become His people through obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel, which brings them into His church. As we obey the laws and ordinances we become saviors, first to ourselves, then to our families and last to the church; we likewise seek to save all mankind in the same way that the Lord does, through His grace and power. Christ delegates many parts of His mission as the Savior to His church and gives power to carry on this mission through the authority He gave to His Apostles. Unless anyone gets confused, we do not become saviors separate from, beside, or in competition with the Savior; we become saviors with the Savior, for the Savior and through the Savior by bringing people to Him to be saved.

As we are seeking to be saved temporally, President Marion G Romney an apostle and counselor to the prophet in 1980 said, "As a people and as a Church, we accept as fundamental truth the proposition that the responsibility for one’s own economic maintenance rests (1) upon himself; (2) upon his family; and (3) upon the Church, if he is a faithful member thereof."

Here is an example of what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can do for its faithful members when someone seeks for temporal salvation in a moment of need: "[A] father... found himself with his loving bishop exclaiming, “Bishop, tragedy has struck our family. I have lost my job. I need welfare.” That knowledgeable bishop replied, “Brother, you don’t need welfare. What you need is a job, and you have come to the right place.” That wise bishop had just taught the great principle of work. The bishop’s comment was not an idle remark, because he had available to him, as a part of the great storehouse system, a ward employment specialist, who has access not only to the employers within the ward and stake but also, through the employment center, to those throughout the entire area. If a job could not be found in the open market, that same employment specialist would become a resource to the bishop to help find meaningful work opportunities for the needy brother within the Lord’s plan, thus allowing that father the joy of maintaining his dignity by working for the commodities received. This same employment system serves the needs of all members as they seek employment and seek to upgrade their opportunities."

In explaining the connection between saving individuals temporally vs spiritually, President J. Reuben Clark of the first presidency in 1939 said: "The Church has found that the whole problem is essentially a question of spirituality, rather than of finance or economics [in getting Church welfare work accomplished]. Where the spirituality has been high, the Plan has succeeded; where the spirituality is low, the Plan has lagged. The Church has proved there is no substitute for the great commandments: ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy … might, mind, and strength, and thy neighbor as thyself’ [see D&C 59:5-6]” (Church Welfare Plan: A Discussion, General Church Welfare Committee, 1939, pp. 32–33).

Finally, as shown in the example above, the whole purpose for having a focus on temporal salvation in Christ's Church was explained when it was set up in 1936: “Our primary purpose was to set up, in so far as it might be possible, a system under which the curse of idleness would be done away with, the evils of a dole abolished, and independence, industry, thrift and self respect be once more established amongst our people. The aim of the Church is to help the people to help themselves. Work is to be reenthroned as the ruling principle of the lives of our Church membership” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1936, p. 3; see also Welfare Services Handbook, p. 1).

As a side note:
There are a couple verses of scripture that state that there is no savior beside Christ.... When properly understood there is no contradiction between this and what I stated in this post and scriptures that talk about saviors in the plural... That proper understanding I cannot give because it requires revelation to best understand.
