Cannot Save

He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

• Hand

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

• Idolatry

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

• Boastful
• Character

They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

• Horse

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

• Armies

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

• Bigotry
• Gospel
• Faith

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

• Adam
• Types

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. read more For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. show less
