"Yes, You are a God who hides Himself,
God of Israel, Savior."
Isaiah 45:15
"Speak up and present your case —
yes, let them take counsel together.
Who predicted this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, Yahweh?
There is no other God but Me,
a righteous God and Savior;
there is no one except Me."
Isaiah 45:21
"I have been Yahweh your God
ever since the land of Egypt;
you know no God but Me,
and no Savior exists besides Me."
Hosea 13:4
Scripture is abundantly clear: there is only ONE God and Savior, and that is YHWH God. And Jesus' name, Yeshua, means "YHWH saves."
So now let us explore who Jesus says He is (italics and text in brackets mine):
“... I assure you:
Before Abraham was,
I am [YHWH].”
John 8:58
What did Jesus say He came to do?
"... the Son of Man has come
to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:10
“For God loved the world in this way:
He gave His One and Only Son,
so that everyone who believes in Him
will not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son
into the world
that He might condemn the world,
but that the world
might be saved through Him."
John 3:16-17
"If anyone hears My words
and doesn’t keep them,
I do not judge him;
for I did not come to judge the world
but to save the world."
John 12:47
Who do the apostles and New Testament writers say Jesus is?
“From this man’s descendants,
according to the promise,
God brought the Savior, Jesus, to Israel."
according to the promise,
God brought the Savior, Jesus, to Israel."
Acts 13:23
"Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus
by the command of God our Savior
and of Christ Jesus our hope."
1 Timothy 1:1
"To Titus, my true son in our common faith.
Grace and peace from God the Father
Grace and peace from God the Father
and Christ Jesus our Savior."
Titus 1:4
"... while we wait for the blessed hope
and appearing of the glory
of our great God and Savior,
Jesus Christ."
Titus 2:13
"Simeon Peter, a slave
and an apostle of Jesus Christ:
To those who have obtained
a faith of equal privilege with ours
through the righteousness
of our God and Savior Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 1:1
"This has now been made evident
through the appearing
of our Savior Christ Jesus,
through the appearing
of our Savior Christ Jesus,
who has abolished death
and has brought life
and immortality to light
through the gospel."
2 Timothy 1:10
The Scriptural evidence is overwhelming and undeniable. The Bible makes no distinction between God the Savior and Jesus the Savior.
Why?
Because it is exactly as Jesus said,
"The Father and I are one.”
John 10:30
To recap:
The Bible says God alone is the Savior.
The Bible says Jesus is YHWH...
and that He came to save.
Jesus' name means YHWH saves.
Putting it all together...
Jesus is YHWH God our Savior!
