The Savior of Each Age and the New Name

The Bible is a best-seller. Many people read the Bible to get a good lesson, to know the history of Israel, to know who is God, and so on. Then the Bible says that the goal of our faith is to get the eternal life(to get salvation, 1peter 1:8). And to give us the eternal life the Bible testify about the Savior(John 5:39). So knowing who is the Savior through the Bible is the most important.

The Bible is the book which testifies about the Savior, so if we read the Bible carefully and believe it, we could recognize who is the Savior and we could get the eternal life.

For our salvation, God divided six thousand years into three ages : the age of the Father, the age of the Son, and the age of the Holy Spirit, and He allowed a different Savior’s name for each of these ages-the name of Jehovah in the age of the Father, the name Jesus in the age of the Son, and the name Ahnsahnghong in the age of the Holy Spirit.

Now we are living during the last age of the Holy Spirit. Thus, God has been administrating His plan of salvation, using the new Savior’s name, the name of the Holy Spirit-Ahnsahnghong. Salvation is only given to those who believe in the name of the Savior that God has allowed to the people living in that particular age. Because we are now living in the age of the Holy Spirit, we must receive the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, as the Savior of this age.

The most important aspect of our salvation is to know, and to receive, the name of the Savior.

During the age of the Father, God granted salvation to those who believed in the name of Jehovah.

Isa. 43:11 『I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.』

In the age of the Father, salvation was dependent upon knowing and accepting the name of Jehovah. Therefore, salvation was not given to those living in the age of the Father, who either didn’t know, or who refused to accept, the name of Jehovah.

When the age of the Father ended and the age of the Son began, Jehovah came in the flesh, using the name "Jesus," as had been prophesied (Isa. 9:6-7).
The Bible states that in the age of the Father there was no Savior apart from Jehovah, and that in the age of the Son there was no Savior apart from Jesus.

Acts 4:11-12 『"He(Jesus) is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."』

When God gave the names of Jehovah and Jesus to the people, He did not explaine that each of these Savior’s names would only be used for a specific time period or age. Thus, many people have become confused, believing that the Bible contradicts itself.

With a full understanding of the Trinity, however, you will realize that the above verses hold no contradictions. Jesus is in His very nature God (Phil. 2:5), the very God Jehovah who granted salvation during the age of the Father. Since Jesus is, in fact, Jehovah, there is no contradiction between "There is no savior apart from Jehovah," and, "There is no other name given to men by which we must be saved (apart from the name of Jesus.)"

During each age God allowed a different name of the Savior, and thus, each age also had a specified time frame and limit. In other words, salvation was given to those who had accepted the name of Jehovah in the age of the Father, and once the age changed to the age of the Son, salvation was given to those who pressed on to know and to accept the name of Jesus.

When God gave the name Jesus to the people-the Savior’s name in the age of the Son-only those who believed and called upon the name of Jesus Christ were able to receive salvation.

Now we are living in the age of the Holy Spirit. Then, how about the name of the Savior in this age???
Through the Bible, let's find out.
