Isaiah wrote that when God looked down from Heaven, “He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor [Savior]” (Isaiah 59:16). God Himself had to come up with salvation, and He Himself had to come to this earth and make us sinless—that is, make the sinful sinless. Coming to this earth, to bring down the wall that had sprung up in our relationship with God the Father as a result of our sins and separated us from Him, He took all the sins of mankind upon Himself with His baptism and bore the condemnation of all these sins of mankind by being crucified and shedding His blood on the Cross. He has thereby saved those who believe.

No matter how insufficient and weak we are, and no matter how many sins we have committed, if we only realize that Jesus fulfilled all righteousness by taking upon our sins with His baptism and shedding His blood on the Cross, and if we accept this truth into our hearts, we can all be saved from all our sins and judgment in hell.

As such, there is only one true Savior in this world, and this Savior is only Jesus. The name of Jesus itself means “He who will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). www.bjnewlife.org
