Speak up, present your case,
consult with each other.
Who foretold this
and revealed it in the past?
Am I not Yahweh?
There is no other god besides me,
a God of integrity and a saviour;
there is none apart from me. - Is. 45:21 -
Because God is the source of salvation, He sent human deliverers to rescue His people, Israel. This word was also used to describe the judges of Israel, those "saviours" or "deliverers" who rescued God's people from oppression by their enemies. - Judg. 3:9,15 -
Yahweh, remember me,
for the love you bear your people,
come to me as a saviour, - Ps. 106:4 -
For I am Yahweh, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your saviour.
I, I am Yahweh,
there is no other saviour but me. - Is. 43:3,11 -
In the New Testament the word for saviour describes both God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. The apostles rejoiced that in Christ, God had become the "Saviour of all men". Jesus was the Saviour of Gentiles as well as Jews. As Christians, we are exhorted to 'grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ'.
By his own right hand God has now raised him up to be leader and saviour to give repentance and forgiveness of sins through him to Israel. - Acts 5:31 -
For us, our homeland is in heaven and from heaven comes the saviour we are waiting for, the Lord Jesus Christ, and he will transfigure these wretched bodies of ours into copies of his glorious body. He will do that by the same power with which he can subdue the whole universe. - Phil. 3:20-21 -
Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales. Train yourself spiritually. 'Physical exercises are useful enough but the usefulness of spirituality is unlimited since it holds out the reward of life here and now and the future life as well'; that is a saying that you can rely on and nobody should doubt it. I mean that the point of all our toiling and battling is that we have put our trust in the living God and he is the saviour of the whole human race but particularly of all believers. That is what you are to enforce in your teaching. - 1Tim. 4:7-11 -
You have been warned about this, my friends; be careful not to get carried away by the errors of unprincipled people, from the firm ground that you are standing on. Instead, go on growing in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory, in time and in eternity. Amen. - 2Peter 3:17-18 -
Following our Saviour's example, all believers are bond-slaves of God. We are to perform "good deeds" to all men with a responsibility especially to fellow Christians. Our unselfish service should especially be rendered through our spiritual gifts which are given by God to the saints in order that they might improve one another. This consist of both spiritual and practical gifts.
Let us keep firm in the hope we profess because the one who made the promise is faithful. Let us be concerned for each other to stir a response in love and good works. - Heb. 10:23-24 - 1Pet. 4:7-11 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!
I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.
HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
