Eerrr.....the JW are a bit confused
to them Jehovah is the Father but actually from Isaiah 40-45 the LORD (ie Jehovah) who spoke is the Lord Jesus Christ who is also called Jehovah, since He is co-equal and co-eternal with His Father

A doctor or a firefighter can save your life but this is only a short term salvation. The only one that can give us permanent salvation is our original creator.
Isaiah 60:16-17 reads: "And you will be certain to know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior"
Jesus is our hope of that Salvation that God provides through his Son.
1Ti 1:1 "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, [who is] our hope;"

Jesus Christ is the saviour, Jehovah God is his Father. Some get that confused. They are separate... sorta like if I were to say I'm Jane and Joe and Martha all in one person, I'd be sent away in a straight jacket. Jehovah and Jesus are individuals. Jesus volunteered to die for mankind, like paying a ransom. Adam gave away his everlasting life in exchange for independence. Only a life of proper value could be given in exchange to buy back what Adam lost. Since everyone after Adam was imperfect, defective, Jesus had to come to earth as a perfect man to provide the ransom... hence, his being our saviour!!

(Judges 3:9) 9 And the sons of Israel began to call to Jehovah for aid. Then Jehovah raised a savior up for the sons of Israel that he might save them, Oth′ni·el the son of Ke′naz, the younger brother of Ca′leb.
(Judges 3:15) 15 And the sons of Israel began to call to Jehovah for aid. So Jehovah raised up for them a savior, E′hud the son of Ge′ra, a Ben′ja·mite, a left-handed man. . . .
(1 Samuel 23:5) . . .and David came to be the savior of the inhabitants of Kei′lah.
(2 Samuel 22:1-3) 22 And David proceeded to speak to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the palm of all his enemies and out of Saul’s palm; 2Â and he went on to say: “Jehovah is my crag and my stronghold and the Provider of escape for me. Â 3Â My God is my rock. I shall take refuge in him, My shield and my horn of salvation, my secure height, And my place for flight, my Savior; from violence you save me.
(2 Kings 13:4-5) 4 In time Je·ho′a·haz softened the face of Jehovah, so that Jehovah listened to him; for he had seen the oppression upon Israel, because the king of Syria had oppressed them. 5 Consequently Jehovah gave Israel a savior, . . .
In ALL instances, Jehovah provided the savior.
Jehovah provide Jesus as a ranson for us, so that we can have a personal relationship with Him.
and So that we can have everlasting life.
Thus Jehovah is 'The Savior' of All.
Jesus is the savior Jehovah provided.

Jehovah.
Jehovah is the one who came up with the idea of the ransom sacrifice to save obedient people, and Jesus agreed to be sent to die for us.
We owe our lives to Jehovah, and we are eternally grateful to Jesus for playing his role in Jehovah's purpose for our salvation.

Jehovah.
Of course, the bible teaches that Jehovah empowers Jesus to be humankind's savior. Earlier, Jehovah empowered various human saviors to benefit true worshippers even before Jesus came to earth.
(1 John 4:14) The Father has sent forth his Son as Savior of the world
(John 3:17) God sent forth his Son into the world... for the world to be saved through him.
(Acts 5:30,31) The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus... God exalted this one as Chief Agent and Savior
(Nehemiah 9:27) They would cry out to you [Jehovah], and you yourself would hear from the very heavens; and in accord with your abundant mercy you would give them saviors who would save them out of the hand of their adversaries.

They say Jesus is their Savior, but of course true Christians know that Jesus is Jehovah.

Rev 7:10 – . 10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
We owe our salvation to God, Jehovah, the Father, (who is seated on the throne & who is IN heaven) and to his Son, Jesus, the Lamb and Son of God(who was standing & whose name UNDER heaven that has been given among men for us to get saved– Rev 5:6, Acts 4:12) .
Jehovah saves. He is the only main source of salvation.
Isa 43:11 states “I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.”
Jehovah then gave his Son a NAME by which we get saved(Acts 4:12) so Jesus also saves.
Acts 4:12 states
12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another NAME UNDER HEAVEN that has been GIVEN among men by which we must get SAVED.
So the only NAME that was GIVEN in which men can get saved is the God sent Son, Jesus. (John 3;16). No other creation has a name or authority that can save us, only Jesus.
Jehovah God is the one saving IN the Heavens.
Psalm 20:6
6 Now I do know that Jehovah certainly saves his anointed one.
He answers him from his holy heavens
With the saving mighty acts of his right hand.
Jehovah God is the one who sent saviors to earth before to save people.
Neh 9:27 –
27 For this you gave them into the hand of their adversaries, who kept causing them distress; but in the time of their distress they would cry out to you, and you yourself would hear from the very heavens; and in accord with your abundant mercy you would give them saviors who would save them out of the hand of their adversaries.
Finally, Jehovah, The Father, sent his only begotten Son to save humanity.
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life – John 3:16
That’s why
Jesus said in John 14:1 – “Exercise faith in God, exercise faith ALSO in me”
John 17:3 - 3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ
Rev 7:10 – . 10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
Jesus is not Jehovah.
Jesus said at John 20:17 “‘I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God.’” Notice Jesus has a God, whom he called “My God” and who is also his Father.
Who is Jesus’ Father?
Isa 63:16 - 16 For you are our Father; although Abraham himself may not have known us and Israel himself may not recognize us, you, O Jehovah, are our Father.
The Bible also doesn’t say “Jesus is Jehovah”. You cannot find that in the Bible. But what we can find are these.
At Luk23:46 it states 46 And Jesus called with a loud voice and said: “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” This was quoted from Psalms 31:5. So you can tell that Jesus called to his Father when he was about to die. “Into your hand I entrust my spirit.” The text continues “You have redeemed me, O Jehovah the God of truth.”
Is God composed of THREE PERSONS?
Gen 17:1 states “, then Jehovah appeared to A´bram and said to him: “I am God Almighty”
Do you use the phrase “I am” for THREE persons or you only use it for ONE Person?
If God is composed of THREE persons, God should have said “WE ARE God” but you cannot find that it the Bible.
You never use the phrase “I am” for THREE Persons. I am is only used for one person.
JESUS said to the Father also in John 17:3, that the Father is the “ONLY True God”, this means there is one and only one person who is God, the Father. and this is confirmed in 1 Cor 8:5 where is states “6 there is actually to us one God the FATHER”.Notice the Father only. Notice also in John 17:3 Jesus excluded himself as the only true God. Instead of saying “We are the only true God” JESUS said “YOU (referring to the Father), and not US” as the only true God. Now are you against Jesus?
Now, if the Son is Jehovah, the Father is Jehovah and the holy spirit is Jehovah according to the Trinity doctrine, then these THREE PERSONS, are THREE Jehovah.
But the Bible says in Deut 6:4 Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is ONE Jehovah.
Notice in Deut 6:4 it used “IS” and only ONE person is involved. If there are three Jehovah then it should have used ARE for THREE persons.
There is ONLY ONE JEHOVAH, who is God Almighty.
