Why a Savior?

Some people out there might ask, "Why do we need a Savior?" or even, "Do we even need a Savior?"  The world makes it appear that we can change and become better all on our own.  From my own personal experiences I have found that isn't the case.  There's more to it.

To me the need for a Savior is a personal matter.  Each person can come to realize why they specifically need Him.  If I want peace, forgiveness, hope, healing, or any chance of changing and returning to live with Heavenly Father and my own family then I need a Savior.  Any glimmer of these aspirations comes through Him because on my own I am not capable, but "I can do all things through Christ" (Philippians 4:13).  For me that is a part of why He was sent.   To me that is a big part of why I need Him.
