Raw Blame History

Lords Day 11

29. Q. Why is the Son of God called “Jesus,” meaning “savior”?

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

1 Matt. 1:21; Heb. 7:25 2 Isa. 43:11; John 15:5; Acts 4:1112; 1 Tim. 2:5

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.1 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.2
