In Isaiah 43;10 & 11, God says,
10 “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. 11 I, even I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior."
In John 8;23 & 24, Jesus says,
"23 "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
God wants us to know and believe, and understand who He is. He is the Lord and Savior.
And in Acts 2;36, it says, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” The Bible says that God has made Jesus Lord and Christ, meaning Lord and Savior.
God says that He is the Lord and besides Him there is no Savior. That's because Jesus is God Himself who was manifest in the flesh as God the Savior.
1 Timothy 3;16.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory."
It says "without controversy". That means there is no mistake or doubt about it, no debating about it, Jesus is God who was manifest in the flesh. Who was Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
In Zechariah 12;10, God says,
"And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn."
God says it was Him who was pierced, crucified. God is telling us that He's Jesus, and that it was Him who was crucified in the flesh.
John 1;1 & 14 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God", and, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
Notice it says the Word wasn't just with God, but "was God". And that the Word, which was God, became flesh, and that He dwelt among us as the only begotten of the Father. This is telling us that God became flesh, was manifest in the flesh as a man, as the Son.
Isaiah 9;6 says,
"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
It says that the "son" is also the "Mighty God" and the "Everlasting Father". They are all the same person. Jesus is God who became flesh, and became the Father and the Son both at the same time.
Colossians 1;15, says, "He is the image of the invisible God", and Hebrews 1;3 says that Jesus is the " express image of His person", the person of God.
So Jesus is the image of the invisible God. He is the human form that God took upon Himself. "Express image" of His person means that the Son is the physical expression and image of God Himself. He is God in human form as a man, as the Son.
Hebrews 1;4 says that Jesus inherited His name. This tells us that the Father's name is actually Jesus. God passed on His name to the Son. Which was actually God in the flesh. So God passed on His name to the human form that He took upon Himself.
Colossians 2;9 says, "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."
That means that all the fullness of God, everything that He is, is in bodily form in Jesus, and God revealed Himself and His name to us through Him. That's why the Bible says that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh.
So this tells us that God didn't put just part of Himself in Christ, or that He's a separate person apart from God, but that Jesus is God, and that He's all of God. Jesus is the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit all wrapped up into one.
That's why in Matthew 1;21, it says His name shall be called "JESUS", and then says,"for He will save His people from their sins.” Because the name "Jesus", which is the Greek form of the Hebrew name "Yeshuah", means, "YHWH Savior". And can be interpreted as "God the Savior", or more personal terms like "God our Savior" or "God my Savior".
God was manifest in the flesh, and became a man, the Son of God, to shed His blood and give Himself as a sacrifice for us, to save us from our sins, and reconcile us unto Himself, as it is written, "Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation", 2 Corinthians 5;18 & 19.
Jesus is God our Savior.
It's not just a matter of personal belief. We all must believe and confess Jesus as God our Savior. That's what it actually means to believe and confess Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Jesus said, "If you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins". John 8;24. So if we don't believe that Jesus is God Himself, God the Savior, in the flesh, we will die in our sins.
And in 1 John 4;3, it says, "every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist".
Who is come in the flesh? 1 Timothy 3;16 said that God was manifest in the flesh.
So according to John 8;24 and 1 John 4;3 , anyone who doesn't believe and confess that Jesus Christ is God the Savior who came in the flesh, has a spirit of antichrist, and will die in their sins.
We could also say that Jesus is God our Savior, or God my Savior, putting it in personal terms.
Warning About Trinitarianism:
The spirit of Trinitarianism is an antichrist spirit. Because it denies that Jesus Christ is God the Savior who was manifest in the flesh. And also, the spirit of Trinitarianism has influenced many professing believers to attack the name of Jesus for it being used in baptism, not realizing that it's the Lord's name they're attacking. And it has caused many of them to blaspheme the Holy Spirit by attributing the manifestation and works of the Spirit to the devil.
If you are in Trinitarianism, you need to get out of it.
Acts 2;36 - 39.
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
"Save yourselves from this untoward generation"
-- Acts 2;40
