Faith in Jesus, the Savior
- The Savior.
- ?Jesus? is the personal name of the Son of God in our flesh.
- This name is significant because God gave it to His Son (Matt. 1:21; Luke 1:31).
- His personal name declares Who and what He is (His mission), i.e., Savior: ?Jehovah salvation.?
- The angel explained the name: Jehovah saves from sin (Matt. 1:21).
- Sins are all our violations of God?s will, to which we add daily to the mountain of our sin and guilt.
- Jehovah, the Self-existent One, performs the work of saving.
- Jesus is Savior of ?His people? from ?their? sins.
- Jesus is the only true Savior because He actually saves from sin.
- Sin earns guilt, which deserves the punishment of death (God?s anger).
- This is the cause of all the misery in this world, social, economic, and spiritual.
- Jesus saves from the punishment of sin, not first from sin?s results (though He will one day).
- He is not just a Savior, but THE Savior, the only One.
- Jesus actually and fully saved; He did not merely create the possibility for salvation.
- He is Savior for us, actually changing our guilt into innocency, removing every liability to be punished.
- He is Savior in us by applying that which He bought to us
- Jesus is the perfect Savior - completely saving us to the uttermost so there is nothing left to be done.
- Jesus did everything necessary for salvation so nothing has to be added to His complete and perfect work.
- Because Jesus is the true Savior, there is no need for saints, Mary, or good works.
- He is not just a Savior, but He is THE Savior, the only One.
- He is THE way, and no one comes to the Father but by Him (John 14:6).
- Do you believe in this perfect Savior who is revealed in this Name?
