Jesus is God because he is savior?

Many nonmembers asks that if God the Father is savior and so Jesus Christ, why do we need him (Christ) if we already have the Father as savior? so how can a ‘man’ give salvation? If he is a savior therefore Christ is God!

It is true that God the Father is savior (Isaiah 45:21-22) and that Jesus Christ is also savior (John 4:42; Eph. 5:23). However, to assume that Christ is also God because he is savior is to ignore the teachings of the holy scriptures on how he became savior:

“It was Jesus, a descendant of David, whom God made the savior of the people of Israel, as he had promised” Acts 13:23

“Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.” Acts 5:31

Clearly therefore that Christ is savior because he was exalted and made such by God. Now, if christ’s being made savior made him god, then comes the absurd conclusion that Christ became God because he was made such by another God.

The holy scriptures also teaches that Christ himself indeed needed salvation from God (Heb. 5:7). Could this have meant that one God “offered up prayers and supplications” to another God “who was able to save him from death?” Surely not, as this directly contradicts the doctrine of the bible that “there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things” (I Cor. 8:6).

To further ask, “Why do we need Jesus if we already have the Father for Salvation?” and “How can a man (jesus) give salvation?” is to overlook, to say the least, biblical pronouncements on the manner through which the Father will grant salvation. The Father, who alone is God (John 17:1,3), will give salvation through “the man” He has ordained, Jesus Christ. The bible explains, thus:

“And now—all glory to him who alone is God, who saves us through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Jude 1:24)

“because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”” Acts 17:31

As Jesus was ordained or appointed to be “the man” through whom God will judge the world, it is him (Christ) who will come on the “end of the age” (Matt. 24:3) to bring judgment on all (Jude 1:14-15). Jesus will grant salvation or the right to “inherit the kingdom” to his sheep (Matt. 25:31-34) or the members of his church (John 10:16, Acts 20:28 Lamsa translation, Eph. 5:23) because God gave him the authority to give eternal life(John 17:2). Indeed, Christ become savior by virtue of the authority given to him by the Father.

And as regards the nature of Christ’s being, the bible explicitly declares of Him through whom salvation is to be found:

“...Jesus of Nazareth was a man whose divine authority was clearly proven to you by all miracles and wonders which God performed through him...”

“Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us” Acts 2:22, 4:12
