Jesus is the only Saviour

You have learned that Jesus heals and baptizes with the Holy Spirit. These are wonderful truths. But there is something else He does that is the most important work of all: Jesus saves! Jesus died for us and rose again, gaining victory over death, sin, and hell forever. Who is Jesus? He is the only Savior of the world.

The Bible says that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. This simple statement is the meaning of the Christian religion. Other religions attempt to offer high ideals for life. They tell people why they suffer, how they should live, and how they will be punished if they fail. But they lack the most important thing of all: They do not give their followers any real power to overcome evil.

In striking contrast, Christianity offers God’s own solution to man’s inability to save himself. To each man and woman, Jesus says, “You have failed God’s plan for you, but you can succeed. You are stained with the guilt of sin, but you can be made clean.” How God saves us through Jesus is the subject of this lesson.

The good news of the gospel is that Jesus has come to be a Savior for all humankind. When Jesus was born, an angel told the shepherds:
“‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.’” (Luke 2:10–11).

The Name of Jesus
The name Jesus means “Jehovah will save”, or “Savior.” God the Father chose this name for His Son. He sent an angel to tell Joseph (Jesus’ foster father) what to name the baby that Mary would give birth to. The name Jesus would remind them constantly of who Jesus was and why He had been born. He was the Son of God, coming down to earth to save us from sin. The angel said, “‘She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins’” (Matthew 1:21).

When you speak or hear the name of Jesus, remember its message of good news for you: Jehovah, the eternal, self-existing God came into the world to save you. God will save you. This is the promise that we claim when we pray to the Father in the name of Jesus.

Whisper the name of Jesus in worship and in prayer. Sing about Jesus the Savior. Tell others about Him. He is the only Savior—the One whom the Father has sent to save us. Peter and John healed a crippled man through the power in Jesus’ name.

Peter explained:

“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.” . . . “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 3:16; 4:12).
