Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour! 4

[Brightfame52]

Mans religion will tell us that Christ is a Saviour unto people who never are saved, however thats a contradiction to the very definition and role of Christ the Saviour. If you ask them why is Christ the Saviour of lost people they will tell you because the person didnt repent or something of that nature, however a impenitent heart is one of the many sins Christ saves His People from as a Saviour. He in the capacity of Saviour gives repentance Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

And since Christ as Saviour gives Repentance, He also gives faith or belief of the Truth. You cant have one without the other 2 Tim 2:25

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth

Christ as Saviour bestows both repentance and acknowledgement of the truth on His Israel, the Church, His Sheep 1

 

[Brightfame52]

Also those whom Christ is a Saviour to, not only are they given repentance/acknowledgment of the truth, but they are given forgiveness of sins. Lets read Acts 5:31 once again please :

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.


Folks those Christ died for and is a Saviour unto have been given forgiveness of sins.

Paul wrote to the elect in Eph 1:7

7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

again Col 1:14

in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Now all dont have forgiveness of sins, hence we cant conclude they have have Christ as a Prince and a Saviour.

Remember Christ indicated that some shall die in their sins, how can they therefore have forgiveness of sins Jn 8:24

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 2
