Who is the Savior and Redeemer ?
a) God is the Savior and the Redeemer.He alone redeems and saves .
The Bible confirms this explicity :
" Thus says the Lord , the King of Israel , and His Redeemer , the Lord of hosts ; ' I am the First and I am the the Last , besides Me there is no God "
( Isa.44:6 )
" As for our Redeemer , the Lord of hosts is His name , the Holy One of Israel "
( Isa.47:4 )
" I , the Lord , am your Savior , and Your Redeemer , the Mighty One of Jacob "
( Isa.60:16 )
b) Christ Jesus is the Savior and the Redeemer of the World :
The angel at the Annunciation said that He would be called Jesus ,
" for He will save His people from their sins "
( Mt.1:21 )
His salvation is not confined to His people , for He said ,
" For I did not come to judge the world but to save the world " ( Jn.12:47 )
It is also said of Him ,
" this is indeed the Christ , the Savior of the world "
( Jn.4:42 )
And He said about Himself that He
" has come to save that which was lost "
( Mt.18:11 ) ; ( Lk.19:10 )
" Christ has come to save us from the curse of the Law "
( Gal.3:13 )
Christ has offered Perfect eternal salvation :
The apostle said that Christ as High Priest ,
" is also able to save to the uttermost "
( Heb.7:25 )
He also says ,
" How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation .....? "
( Heb.2:3 )
Christ alone is the Savior :
St. Peter said in this regard ,
" Nor is there salvation in any other "
( Acts 4:12 )
