I asked:There are a number of places in scripture where Jesus is called Saviour.
Isaiah 43:3. ' for I am the Holy One of Israel, thy saviour'.
This is confirmed in Mark 1:24, when a man with an unclean spirit says, 'I know thee who thou art, the holy One of God'. In Acts 3:14, Jesus is again referred to as 'the holy One and the Just'.
In Luke 2:11, the angel announces 'For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.'
John 4:42. 'And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.'
Although Jesus did not go about proclaiming himself as Saviour, it is clear that angels and demons all recognised him as Saviour, and people listening to him recognised him as the Messiah, the one who would save his people.
1 John 4:14.'And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.'
Where in the Bible did Jesus ever say He was our Savior and what did Jesus say he saved us from?
Where did Jesus ever say that He saved us from the Original Sin of Adam and Eve?
Thanks for your reply.
I agree that Jesus was the Savior of the world, but I do not believe that what we were saved from was an original sin committed by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. I believe that story was allegorical, nothing that literally happened.
Baha’u’llah wrote that Jesus besought the one true God the honor of sacrificing himself as a ransom for the sins and iniquities of all the peoples of the earth. Notably, Jesus never said anything about an original sin committed by Adam and Eve as the 'reason' for His sacrifice.
The 'reason' for the cross sacrifice and what humanity was saved from is explained in my next post.
