What is it necessary to be saved (Part 12).
11 – The own Jesus in person.
I know that this looks like obvious. Nonetheless, let’s figure out.
One thing is to say that:
The last ones are correct:
We can see some titles of the Creator that show us what He is to be for us (Exodus 18.15; Psalms 23.1; Jeremiah 23.6; 33.16; Hebrews 12.23; 2Tim 4.8; James 5.9; 1João 2.2).
The important isn’t what He can do for us, but what He is for us.
In order to clarify this, think:
If Jesus imparts us salvation, He strengthen us to win the fight. If He is our salvation, we hide in His secret place (Psalms 91.1) and He struggle in our place;
If Jesus justifies us, He grant us arguments that will serve to acquit us; if He is our justice, He make us just and His company avouch to everyone that we are just;
If Jesus bestow us victory, He gives us strength and habilities so that we can be the number one; if He is our victory, we are more than conquerors (Rom 8.37), even if we lose the competition. After all, His grace is better than the life (Psalms 63.3).
So, may Jesus be everything to us and the unique joy of our heart and, certainly, we will have all our heart satisfied (Psalms 37.4).
Have a magnific day going over this.

I know that this looks like obvious. Nonetheless, let’s figure out.
One thing is to say that:
- Jesus saved me; other one is Jesus to be our salvation.
- Jesus vouchsafed me victory; other one is Jesus to be our victory.
- Jesus justified me; other one is Jesus to be our justification.
The last ones are correct:
- “In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.” (Isaiah 45:25).
- “In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.” (Jeremiah 33:16)
- “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:” (1 Corinthians 1:30).
