But God raised him from the dead: And he was seen many days of them
which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his
witnesses unto the people. And we declare unto you glad tidings, how
that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled
the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus
again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son,
this day have I begotten thee.
Acts 13:30-33

We need a Savior because we are sinners,
and the wages of sin is death...
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith;
the only faith that saves is faith in Him.
