    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Christ is far beyond a mere potential Saviour, for He saves by His Grace those He died for, He intercedes for to the uttermost, from all their sins, from their unbelief and disobedience and preserves them to Glory Heb 2:10; Heb 7:25 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost...

    "True" Israel?

    We know that the Church under the NT is the fulfillment of Israel from the OT, because Jesus Christ is their High Priest at the Right Hand of God. Now the writer of the Book of Hebrews, writing to the elect remnant of jews in the early church, writes that Christ as the New Covenant Mediator, the...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Christs objective in giving Himself for those He died, wasnt to make their deliverance possible, but to actually deliver them from the evil world according to the will/purpose of God Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    The True Christ of the scripture, His intention in coming and dying wasnt to make Salvation potential, possible and all that , but to to be a full Saviour and to save sinners ! Here is the testimony of one who was an unbeliever and blasphmer 1 Tim 1:13-15 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a...

    "True" Israel?

    The Church is Israel because, Christ the Head of His Body the Church, is also likewise the Mediator of the New Covenant which only the blessings of are promised to Israel. Christ is the Head of the Church Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Matt 1:21 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their 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. In these last and...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Its a disgrace to the Name of Jesus Christ to teach Salvation is merely a possibility or potential through Him. Matt 1:21 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now who are His People here ? Lets look at Jn 17:1-2...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    To say or even imply that Christ is merely a potential Saviour is a repudiation of the fact that its promised He shall save His People from their sins Matt 1:21 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins. Mans religion...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    He saves them to the uttermost ! Those sinners Christ came to save, He came to save them to the uttermost as He lives to make intercession for them Heb 7:25 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    In conjunction with Christ being a Saviour of sinners, its written and testified by the Apostle Paul that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners , not to potentially save them 1 Tim 1:15 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world...

    "True" Israel?

    The Church is Israel[Not National Israel], the Spiritual Kingdom of God, and we know this by many promises made to Israel in the OT times find its ultimate fulfillment in the NT Gospel dispensation, for instance, when Paul wrote to a gentile city church assembly, Corinth, designating them Saints...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Rom 8:33-34 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. One of Christs ministries as...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Again they whom Christ is a Saviour to He gives them with repentance also the remission or 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. Which is also Salvation. The knowledge...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Notice that Christ as risen Saviour gives two blessings in our text 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. Christ gives repentance, its a Saviorhood blessing. Its the word metanoia: a change...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Christ is A Saviour/Redeemer for each and every sinner He died for and was raised again for. When He having finished His work for them, He for them obtained eternal redemption/salvation Heb 9:11-12 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect...

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    Hi, but this sounds confusing. You realize Christ is a Saviour from sin and not a mere potential Saviour

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour!

    In man's religion, though they speak of Christ as the Saviour, they really mean that He's merely a potential Saviour and that Salvation ultimately rests in the decision or will of the sinner. In other words, its up to the sinner to make Christ a Saviour unto them. This fallacious reasoning is...

    "True" Israel?

    We know the Church, the Body of Christ and Israel , not israel the physical nation, but Israel after the Spirit are the same, because Christ acted as High Priest for her, when He gave Himself a Sacrifice unto God. Writing to the Church Paul writes Eph 5:2, 25 2 And walk in love, as Christ also...
