NT Promise 44: The Name that Saves

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

The religious leaders of the Jews question Peter and John about the healing of the lame man: ”By what power, or by what name, have you done this?” Peter answers simply, ”By the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.” He goes on to preach that only by the name of Jesus can we all be saved. We must be saved by His name, and we will be saved by His name.

”Name”signifies the person, and represents the authority, power and personality of that person. Jesus is the only human who is also God, and the only ”god” who became human. He is the Only One who could die for our sins and rise for our life. By means of this name this lame man stands before you whole. and by means of this God-man is there salvation for you. The Name of Jesus saves from death and hell, from sin and evil, and from the power of the devil. And we pray in the Name of Jesus for salvation from our spiritual enemies and salvation for a better life.
