A PERFECT SAVIOR

KO E FAKAMO’UI HAOHAOA

2 TIMOTHY 2:1

You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus

2 TIMOTE 2:1

KA ko koe, nga‘ata, ke ke hoko ‘o kaukaua ‘i he kelesi ‘oku ‘ia Kalaisi Sīsū.

 

Sola Gratia - Grace Alone - Ko e Kelesi´ pe   

The innocence, purity, and righteousness of Christ, which He offered up for our guilt and condemnation, deliver us from sin, guilt, and suffering; and we are reckoned worthy of the favor of God for the reason that Christ, who was absolutely free from all sinful inclination, was able to satisfy fully the justice of God. Although He is so high and holy, namely, very God, He nevertheless is our Savior.

From this it follows that His righteousness and innocence, which are wanting in us, are also imputed to us; for God made Him unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. So we now have access to God through Christ, because He is our Savior and a pledge of the grace of God unto us. He is our Surety, our Bondsman, our Mediator, our Advocate, and our Intercessor; yea, He is a perfect Savior to us. Those who have thus received the Gospel and assuredly trust therein are born of God; for the shortsightedness of the human mind can neither perceive nor understand the heavenly and mysterious council of God's grace.
