The Heidelberg Catechism, This Lord's Day week 11

Q29: Why is the Son of God called "Jesus," that is, Savior?

A29: Because He saves us from our sins,[1] and because salvation is not to be sought or found in any other.[2]
1. Matt. 1:21; Heb. 7:252. Acts 4:12; Luke 2:10-11

Q30: Do those also believe in the only Savior Jesus, who seek their salvation and welfare from "saints," themselves, or anywhere else?

A30: 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. 5:42. Isa. 9:7; Col. 1:20, 2:10; John 1:16; Matt. 23:28
