JEHOVAH
God claims for himself the authorship of the great plan of Atonement,
which has been in progress of development; which began at Calvary and
will not be complete until the close of the Millennial age, when the
Lord Jesus Christ, the mediator of the Atonement, shall deliver up the
dominion of earth, restored and in full subordination to the Father.
In harmony with this are numerous statements of the Scriptures; for
instance, "I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior."
Again, "I am Jehovah and beside me there is no Savior." Again,
"I Jehovah am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Jacob."
And again, "I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou
shalt know no God but me: for there is no Savior beside me." Again,
"To the only wise God, our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and ever, amen." Again, "We trust in the
living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe."
Isa. 43:3,11; 60:16; Hos. 13:4; Jude 25; 1 Tim. 4:10; Titus 1:3; 2:10
If
this thought were fully received--that the Almighty Jehovah, himself,
is the Savior, the Author of the great plan of salvation, and the executor
of it, through his willing E34 agents and representatives--it would
deliver many from false conceptions of the relationship between the
heavenly Father and his heavenly Son.
