Scripture consistently reveals Jesus' divine nature as God and our Savior throughout the New Testament.
The title 'God our Savior' is ascribed to Jesus in multiple instances, affirming His divine sovereignty and nature. Matthew 1:21 tells us that Jesus shall save His people from their sins, establishing His identity as the Savior. Furthermore, 1 Timothy 3:16 and John 1:14 affirm Jesus' divinity and incarnation, illustrating that He is both fully God and fully man. To remove His deity is to undermine the very foundation of the gospel. It is through Him that we have redemption and justification. In Titus 2:13, Paul describes the hope we have in the great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, confirming His dual nature that is essential for our salvation.
