How is Jesus our Savior?

“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” John 3:17

Jesus was born to be our Savior! “For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

How is Jesus our Savior? Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Israel over 2,000 years ago. He was the Son of God and of the Virgin Mary — so He was both the Son of God and the Son of Man. As the Son of God, He was perfect and sinless. He came to this earth to save us from our sins.

The very name Jesus means “God is salvation”. God knew that we could not save ourselves from our sins. We are too stubborn, and too proud, and too selfish — and we deserve the judgment of God. But God sent His Son Jesus to born to a poor family; to live a sinless life; and then to suffer and die in our place. The Apostle John, one of Jesus’ followers, wrote “And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.”

Is Jesus your Savior today? Just like any gift, you must receive it for it to be yours. If you have prayed and truly asked forgiveness of your sins and for Jesus Christ to be your Savior, then Jesus Christ is your Savior today. Jesus saves us from hell, and sin, and the punishment for our sins and gives us hope for the future and the gift of eternal life. Let us praise Him together!

So, this week, let us pray and
  • Thank God for sending His Son Jesus Christ to be our Savior!
  • Ask God to help us reach the whole world with the message of His great love
  • Ask God to protect and bless your family and also our staff at Global Media Outreach
MERRY CHRISTMAS! The angels sang and told the world the wonderful news that Jesus was born. He came to earth to be our Savior! This is the most wonderful news in the world.

May God bless you this Christmas.
