29. Why is the Son of God called "Jesus," that is, Savior?

Because He saves us from our sins, 1) and because salvation is not to be sought or found in any other.2)


1) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Heb. 7:25.

2) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12.

* And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10,11.
