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.'
for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant andbeing born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross.
Yet I have been the Lord your God
Since the land of Egypt;
And you were not to know any god except Me,
For there is no savior besides 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.
and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up 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.
And having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him,
Therefore He is also able to save forever those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,
So, having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, stating nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to take place, as to whether the Christ was to suffer, and whether, as first from the resurrection of the dead, He would proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."
And the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
"Yet as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last, He will take His stand on the earth.
