29. Why is the Son of God called Jesus, that is, Savior?
Because He saves us from all our sins,[1] and because salvation is not to be sought or found in any other.[2]
[1]Mt. 1:21; Heb. 7:25. [2]Acts 4:12; *Lk. 2:10-11.

30. Do those also believe in the only Savior Jesus, who seek their salvation and welfare from saints, themselves, or anywhere else?
No; although they make their boast of Him, yet in their deeds they deny the only Savior Jesus;[1] for either Jesus is not a complete Savior, or they who by true faith receive this Savior, must have in Him all that is necessary to their salvation.[2]
[1]I Cor. 1:13, 30-31; Gal. 5:4. [2]Isa. 9:7; Col. 1:20; 2:10; Jn. 1:16; *Mt. 23:28.
