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 there was born for you to-day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not think that equality with God was something to be grasped,7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant and coming into the likeness of men,8 and when found in the condition of a man he humbled himself by becoming obedient even to death \'97 death on the cross.
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 an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but for those of the whole world.
10 In this is love \'97 not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
10 For if while enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
18 for you know that you were not ransomed with perishable things, silver or gold, from your purposeless life handed down from your forefathers,19 but by precious blood, as of a faultless, spotless lamb, the blood of Christ,
7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the wealth of his loving kindness
20 I have been crucified with Christ. I am living, yet no longer I, but Christ is living in me. The life that I am now living in flesh I am living by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave 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 thus made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him,
25 And so he is able to save perfectly those who come to God through him, since he is forever living to intercede for them.
15 For this reason he is the mediator of a better covenant that, a death having taken place for redemption from sins under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance promised to them.
2 looking to Jesus the beginner and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, thinking little of the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
23 All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.24 All are pronounced righteous by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
22 But obtaining help from God I have continued until this day witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would be,23 that the Christ would suffer and that he first, by rising from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles."
5 The angel said to the women, "Do not you be afraid. For I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.6 He is not here. He has been raised, as he told you. Come see the place where he lay.
