Jesus Christ - Savior (Romans 10:9)

Jesus came and died to save us from our sins. This is the good news. We were dead in our sins, on our way to hell to be eternally separated from God and all that is good. Jesus Christ, the Son of God died on the cross to bear the penalty for the sins of all mankind Belief and faith in his atoning death brings forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life.
Jesus Christ - Baptizer with the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:16)
16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Jesus baptises us with the Holy Spirit and fire after we repent and put our faith in Him. He endows us with the power of the Holy Spirit so we can be effective Christians. So, we can be effective witnesses for Him. After the Lord Jesus ascended into heaven, he gave the Holy Spirit to dwell in believers. The Holy Spirit is the source of the church's power and serves as counsellor, guide, comforter, and Christ's real presence on earth.
1 Peter 2: 24
24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
Jesus while on earth went about healing people of physical, emotional, and spiritual ills. By the power of the Lord Jesus, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, he continues to heal the sick and the afflicted in answer to believing prayer. Healing of the body, soul, and spirit is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ - Coming King (Acts 1:11)
11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Jesus Christ will come again. His Second Coming will be soon and will be a joyful time for believers. When exactly we do not know but we know He will come back to take every believer to be with Him and dwell with Him forever. He calls us to watch and pray and be prepared for His coming.
Revelations 22: 12

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8)

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He has never changed but is still the all-sufficient one. He remains Savior and continues to save all who will come to Him in repentance and put their faith in His death and resurrection. He remains baptiser and continues to baptize with the Holy Spirit all who believe. He remains healer and stills heal those who come to him for healing of the body and soul. He remains the soon coming King. He will surely come again. Are you ready to receive Him? That is the billion pounds question!
