Jesus As Saviour
In Christian theology, Jesus is sometimes referred to by the title Redeemer. This refers to the salvation he accomplished, and is based on the metaphor of redemption, or "buying back". In the New Testament, ''redemption'' is used to refer both to deliverance from sin and to freedom from captivity. Although the gospels do not use the title "Redeemer", redemption is used in several of Paul's letters. Leon Morris says that "Paul uses the concept of redemption primarily to speak of the saving significance of the death of Christ." Universality The New Testament speaks of Christ as the one Saviour for all people.On Christ's role as universal Saviour, cf. Gerald O'Collins, ''Salvation for All: God's Other Peoples'', OUP (2008). The First Epistle of John says that Jesus is "the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the world" ( 1 John 2:2). Adherents of unlimited atonement interpret this to mean that Jesus' redemptive role is for all people without ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
