Salvation Only Through Christ (continued)

7. What three essentials for a Savior are found in Christ?

Deity. “But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever.” Hebrews 1:8

Humanity. “When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law.” Galatians 4:4

Sinlessness. “Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth.” I Peter 2:22

8. How did Christ show from the Scriptures that the promised Savior of the world must be both human and divine?

“While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ? Whose son is He? They say unto Him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call Him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is He his son?” St. Matthew 22:41-45

NOTE––Another has aptly put this important truth concerning the union of the human and divine in Christ thus: “Divinity needed humanity that humanity might
afford a channel of communication between God and man. Man needs a power out of and above himself to restore him to the likeness of God. There must be a
power working from within, a new life from above, before men can be changed from sin to holiness. That power is Christ.”

9. What two facts testify to the union of divinity and humanity in Christ?

“Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” Romans 1:3,4

10. How complete was Christ’s victory over death?

“I am the first and the last: I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Revelation 1:17,18. See Acts 2:24

11. How complete is the salvation obtained in Christ?

“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 them.” Hebrews 7:25

12. What should we say for such a Savior?

“Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.” II Corinthians 9:15
