The Bible identifies God as the primary source of salvation, often referring to him as “Savior.” ( 1 Samuel 10:19 Isaiah 43:11 Titus 2:10 Jude 25) In addition, God used various men to deliver the ancient nation of Israel, and the Bible calls them “saviors.” ( Nehemiah 9:27 Judges 3:9, 15 2 Kings 13:5) b Likewise, since God provides salvation from sin through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Bible refers to Jesus as “Savior.”- Acts 5:31 Titus 1:4. For this reason, the Bible urges Christians who have received salvation “to put up a hard fight for the faith.” ( Jude 3) It also warns those who have been saved: “Keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”- Philippians 2:12. Just as a person saved from drowning could fall or jump back into the water, a person who has been saved from sin but fails to keep exercising faith could lose out on salvation. It is “God’s gift” based on his “undeserved kindness,” or “grace.”- Ephesians 2:8, 9 King James Version. ( James 2:24, 26) However, this does not mean that you can earn salvation.

To gain salvation, you must exercise faith in Jesus and demonstrate that faith by obeying his commands.- Acts 4:10, 12 Romans 10:9, 10 Hebrews 5:9. ( Matthew 1:21) Since death is caused by sin, people who are saved from sin have the hope of living forever.- John 3:16, 17.

The Jehovah’s Witness beliefs about God are outlined in detail below. The Holy Spirit is not a person it is God’s active force.
