Centuries before Christ, God introduced Himself & claimed to be the ONE & ONLY LORD GOD & SAVIOR. “Yet I am the LORD your GOD ... you shall know no GOD but me: there is no SAVIOR beside me” –Hosea 13:4. “... there is no GOD else beside me; a just GOD & SAVIOR; there is NONE beside me” – Isa. 45:21. “You shall know that I the LORD am your SAVIOR ... the mighty One” – Isa. 60:16. “I am the LORD; & beside Me there is no SAVIOR” – Isa. 43:11. In NT passages, God introduces Jesus Christ as both LORD & SAVIOR. “My spirit has rejoiced in GOD my SAVIOR” – Lk.1:47. “For unto you is born ... a SAVIOR, which is Christ the LORD” – Lk. 2:11.Ultimately, Christ as SAVIOR has been credited with a COMPLETE attainment of salvation. Hosea 13:4 declares that there is ONLY ONE GOD & SAVIOR. GOD = SAVIOR: SAVIOR = GOD. GOD = LORD: LORD = GOD. Who is your LORD GOD & SAVIOR, & is He all 3 in 1?
