We know Christ's role as a Savior through scripture, which reveals that He humbled Himself to become a servant and die for our sins (Philippians 2:5-8).
Philippians 2:5-8 clearly articulates Christ's humility and sacrificial role: 'Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.' This passage is foundational for understanding Christ's mission. He wasn't just a teacher or moral example; His purpose was to be our ransom and redeemer. By assuming human form and suffering death, He bridged the gap caused by our sin, thus affirming His unique role as our Savior. Scripture goes further to clarify that through His sacrifice, we receive justification and reconciliation with God.
