Good morning,
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Week five of the “Bible Is” series focuses in on Jesus and salvation. The Bible is about Jesus and salvation.
Who is Jesus? God’s son, the second person of the trinity, the Savior, Redeemer, and our Reconciler to God.
Why did He come? “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10) “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” (1 Timothy 1:15)
Come with me on a journey to explore what the Bible says. The Scriptures are always helpful, encouraging, and challenging. That’s how we grow in our relationship with God!
The Bible is about Jesus and Salvation
Who is Jesus?
Saviour
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11)
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5:31)
The Redeemer
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2:13-14)
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: (1 Peter 1:18-19)
Unchanging
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Jesus came to earth to be the Savior and Redeemer for mankind. To save us from our sins and redeem us from all iniquity. How? Through the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Everything that was true about Jesus from before the beginning of time is true about Him today. Jesus never changes. That should be comforting to all believers.
