Section 11: Lord’s Day 11

Why is the Son of God called Jesus, that is a Saviour?

Because he saveth us, and delivereth us from our sins;^a and likewise, because we ought not to seek, neither can find salvation in any other.^b

Do such then believe in Jesus the only Saviour, who seek their salvation and happiness of saints, of themselves, or anywhere else?

They do not; for though they boast of him in words, yet in deeds they deny Jesus the only deliverer and Saviour;^a for one of these two things must be true, that either Jesus is not a complete Saviour; or that they, who by a true faith receive this Saviour, must find all things in him necessary to their salvation.^b
