There Is Salvation In No One Else!

God Has Given No Other Name

Under Heaven By Which We Must Be Saved.

Scripture

Acts 4

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of our people,

9 are we being questioned today because we’ve done a good deed for a crippled man? Do you want to know how he was healed?

10 Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead.

11 For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,

‘The stone that you builders rejected
    has now become the cornerstone.’

12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

Observation

I am sure that you have heard people say something like this, “As long as the person believes in God that is all that matters”, and usually they are talking about someone that believes in either a god of another religion or someone who just casually acknowledges the existence of God.

We, as followers of Jesus Christ, often get accused of being narrow minded simply because we believe what the Bible says about Jesus.

What does the Bible say?

The Bible says that there is only One God. And the Bible says that there is only one way to know Him and that one way is through Jesus Christ alone.

Jesus Himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

Jesus also said, “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me.” John 10:28

Just a casual belief that there is a God is not enough.

James 2:19

19 You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God.  Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. 

1 John 5:12

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.

1 John 5:20

And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.

Application

Whenever I have the opportunity I want to share with people that Jesus is the only way for them to have a personal relationship with God and that He is the only way for them to have eternal life.

How about you? Do you know Him?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, give me the ability to communicate clearly the Good News that Jesus saves each and every time that You open up the door for me to share.

I pray for any person that may be reading this blog today. Help them to see that placing their faith and trust in Jesus is the only way for them to have a rich and abundant life here on earth and the only way for them to have eternal life. Don't let them miss out on Heaven.
