JESUS CHRIST: THE MESSIAH-THE REDEEMER

Jesus: The Holy One of Israel

But behold, when the time cometh that they shall dwindle in unbelief, after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord—having a knowledge of the creation of the earth, and all men, knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord from the creation of the world; having power given them to do all things by faith; having all the commandments from the beginning, and having been brought by his infinite goodness into this precious land of promise—behold, I say, if the day shall come that they will reject the Holy One of Israel, the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God, behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them.

--2 Nephi 1:10

Jesus is truly the Messiah, our Redeemer. He is the Holy One of Israel, the Teacher.  If we believe in Him and accept Him, then our heart, mind, and soul will be inclined toward Him and His teachings. Our hearts will be prone to be more obedient to His commandments. If we reject Him and His laws and statutes, then our lives will drift into forbidden paths, trails of life that are counterproductive to a happy and successful life, the life that will carry one to Eternal Life with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and family and friends throughout eternity. Put God First.

JESUS declares He is the MESSIAH

Jesus Christ: The Lord of Hosts

Isaiah 47:4

As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

JESUS is our savior, our salvation, even the Lord of Hosts; for He is the Holy One of Israel. Salvation is found in Christ and His atonement. Atonement, at-one-ment,  means becoming as God, being in the process of becoming like God. The effects of the atonement upon us individually is predicated upon our personal repentance and obeying God’s commandments. The atoning blood of Christ saves us from our sins and dark lives. The atonement effects everyone collectively, by grace, by permitting us all to be resurrected, to gain a resurrected body and live eternally in a resurrected form. This resurrection is by divine design by Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ from before the foundations of the world, before the earth was created.

Jesus Christ: Our Redeemer and Teacher

Isaiah 48:17

17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

JESUS is our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He is our Teacher and Leader. He will teach us the paths of life we should trod, but it is up to us to choose the paths of life we tred. God desires us to walk the righteous and obedient paths, but satan impulses us to go down forbidden paths, those roads that lead to misery and sorrow, sadness and unhappiness. If we hearken to the Lord’s commandments, then we experience “peace as a river.” If we choose the righteous paths, our lives will be strong and powerful like the “waves of the sea.”

Jesus Christ is the only sure foundation that we can totally rely upon for safety, security, and everlasting duration. His name is the only name upon which salvation can be obtained and eternal life attained.

“And, if you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God” (Doctrine and Covenants 14:7)

Eternal life is our ultimate goal. Obeying all the commandments of God qualifies us for this desired end.

Jesus Christ: Our Redeemer-The One Who Saves

Isaiah 41:14

Fear not, thou worm (meek and humble) Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Jesus can, will, and does help us more abundantly if we are meek and humble; for He is our Lord, our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Jesus is the great I AM, and He will not forsake us. God delights in those who have meek and humble hearts, who acknowledge His hand in all things, and those who submissively and quietly and faithfully and confidently go about doing His work, not for selfish honors and praises of man, but for the glory of God.

Jesus, our Redeemer, saves us from misery and woe as we turn to Him in humble and sincere gratitude and acknowledgement. Jesus desires that we pray to Heavenly Father in the name of Christ. We have been commanded to do all that we do in the Son of God’s name, Christ’s name.

“Thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore” (Moses 5:8)

Doing in Christ’s name is glorifying Him. We should never take God’s name in vain or speak vulgarity vocally or silently, not in the least, for it devastates our spirit and mind, and it brings shame and degradation to the name of deity. Christ, our Redeemer, is here to save. Let Him do it for you.
