Hastings, James: Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics ... In other religions and philosophies we meet with the idea of divine incarnation: but it may be claimed that nowhere is the union of God and man so concrete and definite, and so universal in its import, as in the Christian religion. As Augustine said, "if in the books of the Platonists it was to be found that 'in the beginning was the Word,' it was not found there that 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.'" It is the very central truth of Christianity that God was historically manifest in Christ, and that He is still revealed in the world as the indwelling Spirit of the Church or community of Christ's founding. This Christian faith in the incarnation of the divine Word in the man Christ Jesus, with whom the believer is united through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, constitutes the distinctive basis of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity." ...

Further, it is clear that Jehovah acquired the specific status as "savior" only after the blood of Christ was shed on the cross, for without this action in 30 AD, God could not save man!
