## Lord’s Day 11
### 29. Q. Why is the Son of God called “Jesus,” meaning “savior”?

**A**. Because he saves us from our sins;<sup>1</sup> and because salvation is not to be sought or found in anyone else.<sup>2</sup>

<sup>1</sup> [Matt. 1:21](/References/Bible/40%20-%20Matthew/Matthew1.md#21); [Heb. 7:25](/References/Bible/58%20-%20Hebrews/Hebrews7.md#25)
<sup>2</sup> [Isa. 43:11](/References/Bible/23%20-%20Isaiah/Isaiah43.md#11); [John 15:5](/References/Bible/43%20-%20/John/John15.md#5); [Acts 4:11–12](/References/Bible/44%20-%20Acts/Acts4.md#11); [1 Tim. 2:5](/References/Bible/54%20-%201Timothy/1Timothy2.md#5)

### 30. Q. Do those who look for their salvation and security in saints, in themselves, or elsewhere really believe in the only savior Jesus?

**A**. No. Although they boast of being his, by their actions they deny the only savior, Jesus.<sup>1</sup> Either Jesus is not a perfect savior, or those who in true faith accept this savior have in him all they need for their salvation.<sup>2</sup>
