Salvador
Jesus é o Salvador do mundo. Desde a manjedoura até a cruz e a ressurreição, toda a Escritura aponta para Aquele que veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.
O Salvador nasceu
Na plenitude dos tempos, Deus enviou seu Filho ao mundo. O anjo declarou: 'Hoje vos nasceu um Salvador, que é Cristo, o Senhor.'
11 For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
4 But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me.
O sacrifício redentor
Jesus deu a própria vida por nós. Ele é a propiciação pelos nossos pecados e o autor da salvação eterna para todos os que lhe obedecem.
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
10 In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
20 And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself for me.
O caminho da salvação
Jesus é o mediador da nova aliança. Ele vive para interceder por nós e pode salvar perfeitamente todos os que se achegam a Deus por meio dele.
9 And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.
25 Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.
15 And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those trangressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
2 Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God.
23 For all have sinned, and do need the glory of God.24 Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus,
22 But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets, and Moses did say should come to pass:23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light to the people, and to the Gentiles.
5 And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.6 He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid.
25 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
