Jesus Christ: Lord and Savior
By Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon
Jesus Christ is not merely a good man. Nor is He an angel, a preexistent
spirit, God's highest creation. He is not one of many special prophets or
manifestations of God, or an eastern guru or avatar, or a corruption of the
mystery religions or a half-God/half man. As we documented in our book Ready
With An Answer (Eugene, OR: Harvest House Publishers, 1997), He is the
incarnate second person of the Trinity, the prophesied Messiah predicted
hundreds of years in advance through very specific prophecies. He is unique
in all creation, virgin born, sinless, deity and the only incarnation of God
there is or will be. He is the world's only savior, the only one who died
for our sins on the Cross to offer eternal salvation as an entirely free
gift. He rose from the dead as proof of His claims, and He is the final
judge, the only one who will return personally on the last day to judge
every person who has ever lived. Scriptural testimony is clear as to the
authority and uniqueness of Jesus Christ:
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (Matthew 28:18)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For
by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities: all things
were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all
things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the
beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he
might have the supremacy. (Colossians 1:15-18)
[He is] far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every
title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to
come. (Ephesians 1:21)
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven
and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Whoever believes in
him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. (John
3:16, 18)
Scriptural testimony is clear that Jesus is the Savior of the world:
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the
Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14)
In the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
(Luke 2:11)
They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said;
now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the
Savior of the world." (John 4:42)
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners.. (1 Timothy 1:15)
[But] it has now been revealed through the appearance of our Savior, Christ
Jesus, who has destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel. (2 Timothy 1:10)
This is how God showed his love among us: he sent his one and only Son into
the world that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9)
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is
in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God
does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12)
But Christ is not just a savior, He is the Savior, the only Savior. Because
only Christ died for our sin, only faith in Christ has the power to save us
from the consequence of our sin. Jesus Himself and the inspired writers of
the New Testament teach this so clearly that it is surprising that so many
people deny it:
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.... I am the gate; whoever
enters through me will be saved.. I have come that they may have life, and
have it to the full. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his
life for the sheep. (John 10:7-11)
If you do not believe that I am [the one I claim to be], you will indeed die
in your sins. (John 8:24)
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 4:12)
This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and
to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for
all me-the testimony given in its proper time. (1 Timothy 2:3-6)
The Incarnation of Jesus Christ
The doctrine of the incarnation and its corollary, the virgin birth, are
crucial doctrines related both to Christ's deity and our redemption. If
Christ was neither incarnate nor virgin born, He could be neither God nor
Savior. In other words, if He was not incarnate and virgin born He had to be
born like every other man and thus could only be a man, even a sinful man.
For reasons related to God's revelation of Himself in the Old Testament, a
finite sinful man, or even a preexistent spirit or an angel, could not
redeem the world from the wrath of an infinite God against sin. Jesus had to
be both divine and human to satisfy the divine requirements of redemption
and to become a satisfactory propitiatory substitute for man. Only an
infinite being could satisfy divine wrath, and only a sinless man could
become a substitute for others' sins. The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus
Christ is incarnate deity:
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with
child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel [God with
us]. (Isaiah 7:14; see Matthew 1:23)
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.. And he will be called.
Mighty God.. (Isaiah 9:6)
Does not the scripture say that the Christ will come from David's family and
from Bethlehem, the town where David lived? (John 7:42)
As it is written in the second Psalm: "You are my Son; today I have become
your Father." (Acts 13:33)
For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have
become your Father?" (Hebrews 1:5)
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. (John 1:14)
Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a
body.. (1 Timothy 3:16)
[The] second man [is] from heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:47)
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became
obedient to death-even death on a cross! (Philippians 2:8)
Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifice and offering
you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me." Hebrews 10:5)
Regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendent of David..
(Romans 1:3)
For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the
world.. I am the bread of life.. For I have come down from heaven.. I am the
bread that came down from heaven.. I am the living bread that came down from
heaven. (John 6: 33, 35, 38, 41, 51)

Carl's use of magic words and phrases... like "Biblically-based" only
exposes his delusion.
The doctrine of a triune god is NOT found in the Bible, and saying it is
is actually telling a lie... a lie of Satan.
What the Bible DOES teach about Jesus, the Son of God, God the Father
and the Spirit of God...
