No Other Name

Acts 4:11, 12

 This Jesus is ‘The Stone you builders rejected, which has become The Cornerstone.’ Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

 There is no other way to get into God's eternal holy presence, unless we come through the blood of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ first. As The Word reveals to us here, "there is NO OTHER NAME than The Name of JESUS CHRIST" by which we can be saved from eternal damnation and punishment for our sins. 

It is only through belief in His Name, which is The NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, that saves our souls. And this belief on His Name is a choice, a conscious decision, that must be made on this side of eternity while we still draw breath. 

No other god can replicate what Jesus Christ did on the cross and in the garden after He rose from the dead. No religious dogma, nor doctrine, can save us. Only Jesus Christ. God loves us and wants us to love Him in return, willingly and wholeheartedly. But we have to make that decision in our lifetime: it cannot be made after we die.

Amazing Grace

 Amazing Grace 

Ephesians 2:8, 9

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, / not by works, so that no one can boast. 

Acts 15:11

But we believe that through the grace of The Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Romans 3:20, 28

Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.

For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

Romans 10:4

For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.

Do you believe?

    We have no power within ourselves to save ourselves from the punishment of sin. Mere obedience to the letter of the law of God will not save us. For the law of God is the love of God explained and extended to God's people. To hear the law, and not obey it, is to ignore the law and the love of God. All day long He calls out our names and extends His arm of righteousness to a people who will not listen. 

    But the day is coming, and even now, is nearly upon us, when He will call some names for the last time. But those names who are written in The Lamb's Book of Life will hear God speak their name again and again for they will live forever with Him, having believed that Jesus Christ Is Lord and received the Salvation which God provided in Him and through Him. 

   Great is God's mercy and lovingkindness and faithfulness to reach out across generations and save as many as will believe Him. Do you believe? 

    Great is God's mercy and lovingkindness and faithfulness to a sinner, a wretch, like me. Once I walked and lived and died in darkness. But The Light of God's Redeeming Love stretched out across the years and called my name. Ashamed and disheartened I came to the cross and told God all my sorrows, all my transgressions: every dark thing in me I laid at the foot of the cross. And Jesus covered them with His blood: my sins were washed away! Amazing. Grace. 

    And a couple years or so after that I was baptized with His precious Holy Spirit and began to sing in a heavenly tongue. I was, and still am, awed that God would be so kind to do that in me. He has renewed me each time since then that I might be able to share the gospel with those He has placed in my path. Even you. Do you believe yet? 

    Just be honest with God: He knows your heart already: nothing is hidden from Him. But He desires that you speak aloud your belief that your salvation be known. 

    Romans 10:8-10

But what does it say? “The Word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, The Word of Faith we are proclaiming: that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved."

Statements of Faith - Saved By Grace

 

 

Paul writing to the church in Ephesus to encourage them in the faith. The Word of God is alive and ever calling, ever reaching out to whosoever will.

Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

Romans 3:22-24
And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
 John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 

 I am a whosoever who believes. Therefore I am saved by grace.
