Born again believers recognize Jesus as much more than a man who died for our sins! Jesus is our Creator (Jn. 1:1-3; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:1-2; etc.); Jesus is our God (Jn. 1:1-3, 14; Col. 2:9; 1 Tim. 3:16; etc.); Jesus is our Savior (Lk. 2:11; Acts 13:23; Phil. 3:20; etc.); and Jesus is our Lord (Jn. 13:13; He is specifically identified as "Lord Jesus Christ" eighty-one times in the New Testament)! In addition, just as the Bible says there is one God, manifest as the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, it also says there is but one Savior, Who is identified as both God, and Jesus Christ! Here are just a few verses that identify the Savior as being both God and Jesus:
Isaiah 43:3, 11 - "For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior...I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no Savior"
Hosea 13:4 - "...I am the LORD thy God...thou shalt know no God but Me: for there is no Savior beside Me."
Luke 2:11 - "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."
Acts 13:23 - "Of this man's seed hath God according to His promise raised unto Israel a Savior, Jesus."
Philippians 3:20 - "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ."
2 Timothy 1:10 - "(Salvation) is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel."
Titus 2:13 - "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 3:18 - "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen."
1 John 4:14 - "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world."
Jude 1:25 - "To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."
