Luke 2:11
A Savior is Born, Who is Christ the LORD
11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Matthew 1:20-21
Jesus Will Be Born and He Will Save the World from Our Own Sins
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
Mark 2:17
Jesus Came to Earth to Help Sinners
17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
Acts 4:12
Salvation is Found in No One Else, Except Jesus
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
How one looks at the world, affects how and what they believe in...If you feel the world is fine and getting along alright, you will believe in certain things and a certain way...If you believe that the world has problems, then you will probably believe in different things and in a different way...
The world has moved away from God and we need Him...God has seen man move away from Him at different times throughout our history...We fell from His Grace in the Garden...We were separated from Him...God's people over the years have moved away from Him from time to time...Being separated from the One who created us is not a good thing...It can cause us problems...We are tempted and sometimes we sin...
And when one looks around the world we can see the troubles and problems...We can look at the headlines each day and see problems...From this viewpoint that world has its issues and problems, followers of Jesus can see that we are in need of Him...When He was recruiting Matthew to be one of His Disciples, Jesus told us that He came to earth to call on sinners...The world needs fixed of its different problems, disagreements, and troubles...We need Someone can fix all of its problems, and all of man's problems...The world will have hard times, but Jesus is alive and there for us, and so is His Father...Therefore, the world needs a Savior -from the Christian point of view...This viewpoint believes that we are in need of Jesus and that we cannot fix the world by ourselves...Man cannot save ourselves...It may sound funny but we need Truth and Grace and LOVE and forgiveness to help fix our problems and to be saved...
We need saving and we need salvation...And His Disciple Peter told us this: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."...
