In this blog post, I want to highlight another aspect of Jesus’ identity. Today, I want to emphasize that He is a savior, someone who saves you from dangers or difficulties.

If you find yourself in a challenging situation, Jesus will save you. He is known for saving us from eternal death, infinite suffering, and ongoing pain (Matthew 13:50). He did this by dying on the cross for us, which He did out of love. He saves us because He loves us.

The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing. – Zephaniah 3:17

His qualities as a savior do not stop at the cross. He wants to be your savior in your everyday life.

He saves you by protecting you:

“The Lord watches over you, the Lord is your shade at your right hand.” – Psalms 121:5

He saves by guiding you on the right path: The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. – Deuteronomy 31:8

Saving is in His DNA.

He is especially your savior when you are struggling with your mental health. The strength you need is found in His presence, and He will be there to comfort you.

Struggling with your mental health is often very complex and can be tangled with unhealed trauma. This is one of the reasons why doctors often can’t fully help people get out of a mental state; it is too complex.

Jesus, however, is the maker of heaven and earth. Nothing is too hard for Him. While I was going through mental illness, Jesus gave me insight into the root causes. He was there with me every step of the way and led me to a place of deliverance.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.- John 14:26

You’ll always have hope because you’ll always have Him.
