No Other Name Under Heaven
How important is a name? Does it move us when we hear there is ‘no other name under heaven?’
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Act 4:12 NIV
SALVATION
Salvation comes only through belief and confession that Jesus Christ is God’s Son. There is no other name under Heaven that saves us.
We must believe in the death of Jesus on the Cross for OUR sins. There is no other way and there is no other name that is connected with salvation for us.
EVANGELISM
I have spent many years doing evangelism, and often in conversation with others, they will tell me of their various personal beliefs.
I have heard many say that they believe as long as they are good, moral people they will find their way to God. Some mention founders of various religions, well known and not, and their teachings. All come to no avail. We cannot, of ourselves, ever be “good enough” to come before a perfect, holy, pure, and completely righteous God. It cannot be done, and we certainly are incapable of figuring out how to make ourselves forgiven. We do not have the ability.
ONE WAY ONLY
There is no way to get to God but by Jesus Who was crucified for us.
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY AND ONLY NAME TO CALL UPON.
This Scripture is clear that salvation comes ONLY by Christ Jesus.
It lets us know emphatically that there is no other name under Heaven by which salvation comes. None.
Jesus only brings salvation and new life.
Our confession, however, is vital.
It is only by telling God that we believe that JESUS CHRIST IS HIS RISEN SON and that we take Him as our Savior and Lord, that we are saved.
BELIEVE AND CONFESS
By confessing that Jesus is God’s Risen Son and stating a belief in Him, and a desire to follow and obey Him, you are saved and life changes gloriously and forever. (See also Romans 10:9-10 KJV)
Through Christ, you can ask God for the forgiveness of your sins. You will be given amazing freedom and the glorious lifting of all guilt.
You are freed and saved only by Christ. Every other avenue is counterfeit and will lead to unfulfillment and sorrow.
SO NOW YOU KNOW
So now YOU know.
You have no excuse that no one ever told you or that no one ever shared with you this vital Scripture passage.
You have heard and reheard the simple, powerful, life-changing message.
It is ONLY BY THE NAME OF JESUS that we have access to God and forgiveness of our sins and the newness of life.
So, what will you do now?
