The New Testament’s Declaration That Jesus Christ Is God and Savior

The New Testament’s Declaration That Jesus Christ Is God and Savior

The Hebrew Bible reserves the title *Savior* exclusively for YHWH — the one God who declares, "besides Me there is no savior." When the inspired authors of the New Testament apply the compound Greek title *Theos Sōtēr* — God and Savior — to Jesus Christ, they are making not a devotional flourish but a precise theological claim: the man from Nazareth, crucified and risen, is the God of Israel incarnate. This article examines that claim through the lens of the Old Testament background, New Testament grammar, first-century linguistic milieu, and the unanimous testimony of the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.

Jesus Christ: The Eternally Reigning God

Jesus Christ: The Eternally Reigning God

The inspired Scriptures do not present Jesus Christ merely as a Davidic monarch, a plenipotentiary of God, or an exalted creature. They present him as God Almighty incarnate — the eternal King who was, is, and is to come. This article examines the Hebrew and Greek evidence from the Old and New Testaments, traces the patristic reception of these texts, and demonstrates that the eternal reign of YHWH and the eternal reign of Christ are one and the same reign, because Christ is one and the same God.
