Jesus Christ Was Born To Save

The prophet Isaiah foretold it and the angels announced His birth triumphantly to all the shepherds in the fields, “Good Christian men rejoice with heart and soul and voice, now ye need not fear the grave. Peace! Peace! Jesus Christ was born to save.”  The very meaning of the name Jesus means Saved or Savior.

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:17 (NIV)

“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Acts 2:21 (NIV)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NIV)
