Lord's Day 11

Topics: Jesus, Salvation, Saints, Faith, Forgiveness

29. Q.

Why is the Son of God called Jesus,
that is, Saviour?
A.
Because he saves us from all our sins, 1
and because salvation is not to be sought or found
in anyone else. 2
  • 1. Mt 1:21; Heb 7:25.
  • 2. Is 43:11; Jn 15:4, 5; Acts 4:11, 12; 1 Tim 2:5.
30. Q.

Do those who seek
their salvation or well-being
in saints, in themselves, or anywhere else,
also believe in the only Saviour Jesus?
A.
No.
Though they boast of him in words,
they in fact deny the only Saviour Jesus. 1
For one of two things must be true:
either Jesus is not a complete Saviour,
or those who by true faith accept this Saviour
must find in him all that is necessary
for their salvation. 2
