No Other Way

And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.  Acts 4:12 NASB

…. This verse is powerful teaching …  that word …. “must.” “There is no other name under heaven given among men and women by which we MUST be saved.” 

Jesus is the reason we have faith, worship, and  eternal salvation.  We believe in the name of Jesus Christ, and no other name is as worthy of our praise. He is the only way to God because He is God.  If we are to be saved, we MUST go through Jesus. He is the one way. 

To escape the eternal punishment we justly deserve for our rebellion against God it is necessary to acknowledge and declare Jesus Christ as the risen Saviour who was crucified for mankind’s sins- and conquering death - He rose again! It is absolutely necessary to accept that and believe it! 

And my friends Jesus Christ’s gift of sacrifice is a covering that is freely given to ALL - it is present, it is active and it is available for every person of every nation, every skin color, every language every culture on God’s created earth. It’s pretty important to clarify God’s gift of salvation is for all “Under heaven” as far as the east is from the west. 

There is no other name under heaven given among men . . .” The name of Jesus Christ isn’t something God broadcasts from above, while remaining safely tucked away in heaven, conveniently distant from all the dirt and grime of our lives, the mud of our sin and suffering. Rather, God Himself came “among men” in the person of His Son, Jesus! Hallelujah! 

John 6:37-38 NASB All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

God is all that is all that was and all that will be - He is distinct from everything else in creation, He dwells in the high and holy place, and there is no one and nothing in the world like Him. He exercises control and authority in all of creation, and the miraculous becomes possible. 

And because of the sacrifice Jesus gave mankind and the gift of Holy Spirit among us we get the choice of living a lifestyle of worship and praise to God, the king of kings.
