Once we understand that Jesus is God revealed in human form, we are ready to grasp His ultimate mission: to save. He didn’t come just to teach or perform miracles — He came to redeem humanity from sin and death. The Bible doesn’t call Him a savior — it declares Him as “the Great God and our Savior.”

✨ Jesus – Our Savior and the Great God
Titus 2:13 (KJV):
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.”
This verse doesn’t refer to two separate beings — it points to one person: Jesus Christ, who is both God and Savior. The grammar in Greek supports this — it’s a single identity being described with two divine titles.
🔥 God Alone is Savior — Jesus Is That Savior
Isaiah 43:11 (KJV):
“I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.”
If only God can save, and Jesus saves, then Jesus is God.
- Matthew 1:21 – “He shall save his people from their sins.”
- Luke 2:11 – “Unto you is born… a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
- Acts 4:12 – “There is none other name under heaven given… whereby we must be saved.”
Jesus isn’t one of many saviors. He is the only Savior, because He is the one true God.
💔 The Cost of Our Salvation
God didn’t save us from afar. He didn’t send an angel or a representative. He came Himself.
Isaiah 59:16 (KJV):
“And he saw that there was no man… therefore his arm brought salvation…”
- That “arm” is Jesus Christ — God reaching into our world.
- At the cross, God shed His own blood to redeem us (Acts 20:28).
- Salvation wasn’t outsourced. It was God in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19).
👑 The Savior Will Return in Glory
Philippians 3:20 (KJV):
“…we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The same God who came to save will return to reign. He is not just a past Redeemer, but our future hope and eternal King.
📖 Supporting Verses
- Acts 20:28 – God purchased the Church “with His own blood.”
- Luke 1:47 – Mary called God “my Savior.”
- 2 Peter 1:1 – “God and our Savior Jesus Christ.”
- Hebrews 9:12 – Jesus entered the holy place with His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.
💡 Conclusion
The Bible leaves no room for confusion: Jesus is the Great God and the only Savior. From prophecy to incarnation to the cross, the story of salvation is the story of God Himself stepping into history. He didn’t send someone else — He came. He didn’t demand sacrifice — He became the sacrifice. And He didn’t stay in the grave — He rose again, holding the keys of death and hell (Revelation 1:18).
