The Bible teaches that the Messiah, referred to as Christ in the New Testament, is the Savior who comes to redeem His people from sin.
According to Scripture, the Messiah is prophesied throughout the Old Testament as the one who will resolve the problem of sin that arose from Adam's fall. In Genesis 3:15, it is stated that the seed of the woman will defeat the serpent, signaling the coming of a Savior. The New Testament reveals that this Messiah is Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem, whose very name means 'He shall save His people from their sins' (Matthew 1:21). This fulfills the Old Testament prophecies and underscores the significance of Jesus as the promised Redeemer.
