Why is the Son of God called Jesus, that is, a Saviour?
Because he saveth us, and delivereth us from our sins (Matt. 1;21); and likewise because we ought not to seek, neither can find salvation in any other (Acts 4;12).
Do such then believe in Jesus the only Saviour, who seek their salvation and happiness of saints, of themselves or anywhere else?
They do not; for though they boast of him in words yet in deeds they deny Jesus, the only deliverer and Saviour: for one of these two things must be true, that either Jesus is not a complete Saviour (Col. 1;19, 20), or that they, who by a true faith receive this Saviour, must find all things in him necessary to their salvation (Heb. 7;25).
