Because he saveth us, and delivereth us from our sins (Matt. 1;21); and likewise because we ought not to seek, neither can find salvation in any other (Acts 4;12).
Matt. 1;21.—The angel said to Joseph: Mary shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins.—Heb. 7;25.—Luke 19;10.—1 Tim. 1;15.
Acts 4;12.—Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.—Acts 3;16.—1 Cor. 3;11.—John 6;40.
30. Do such then believe in Jesus the only Saviour, who seek their salvation and happiness of saints, of themselves or anywhere else?
They do not; for though they boast of him in words yet in deeds they deny Jesus, the only deliverer and Saviour: for one of these two things must be true, that either Jesus is not a complete Saviour (Col. 1;19, 20), or that they, who by a true faith receive this Saviour, must find all things in him necessary to their salvation (Heb. 7;25).
Col. 1;19, 20.—For it pleased the Father than in him should all fulness dwell; and having made peace through the blood of the cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself.—Col. 2;10.—1 Cor. 1;13.—John 10;11.
Heb. 7;25.—He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.—John 1;14. John 1;16.—Heb. 12;2.—Acts 16;31.
12. LORD’S DAY.
*31. Why is he called Christ, that is, anointed?
