Salvation Only in the Name of Jesus
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
There is no greater joy than to know that my Creator came in flesh, to redeem me from the curse of law and sin! He died for my stead, a wretched soul, worthy of death and hell. This is what the Bible calls love, for He gave us His life, when He died on the cross: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
Christ’s death on the cross is the ultimate representation of God’s grace and mercy to all humanity. Imagine, Someone has sacrificed His own, instead of us being crucified. He offered Himself. This act of self-sacrifice has defied all known sacrifices that man can do, for no one can really do this except the One who knew what will be the future of all.
But why did He do all of that? It is simply because “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Hell, which was prepared for the devil and his angels becomes wide open, as Satan brings many souls to that place through his deceptions and trickery. He wanted all people to join him there because he knew he has but a short time. He knew he is destined there, and so he wanted to bring as many souls as possible he could bring. He invented counterfeit religions that promotes idolatry, sorcery, witchcraft, immorality, and lies so that people will be blinded and trust his own will for salvation, or look for other powers apart from the true God. The devil will do everything to take souls to hellfire.
God, in His perfect knowledge prepared for Himself a Lamb to replace the Old Testament form of yearly sacrifice performed by Israel, and so He came as their Messiah but also the Savior of all mankind. He made Himself the ultimate Sacrifice once and for all people. And through His sinless blood, we all have the privilege to be cleansed from sin and unrighteousness, to be redeemed from the curse of death (Galatians 3:13). This initial deliverance that God, through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross has accomplished brings the gospel of salvation to everyone who will believe and receive it on their hearts. When a man places his faith on Jesus, he will believe and obey everything that God commanded in His Word, and this is the ultimate test if he truly love Jesus (John 14:15). Any faith that does not accept God’s truth as taught in His Word is considered dead faith and is not worthy of salvation (James 2:17–26). Satan has children of disobedience, those who reject Jesus and His message (John 8:44). They rebel against God’s Word and mock those who abide by it. But God gives His Holy Spirit to those who will believe in Jesus (John 1:12). The Holy Spirit will convict a sinner and will bring him to the process of spiritual birth found in John 3:5 and Acts 2:38. The same Spirit shall enable him to walk in God’s truth and righteousness, and sanctify him, so he can be part of God’s kingdom.
He will separate himself from the things of the world. He will not conform to the worldly trends, fashions, and lifestyles that are not pleasing to God and are contradictory to His will (Romans 12:1–2).
In order to complete God’s ultimate salvation, every true people of God shall come out from false religions under the dominion of Mystery Babylon as mandated in Revelation 18:4. This is where God’s promise in 2 Corinthians 6:16–18 will be completed.
God has true people all over the world, in every generation, scattered on all types of religions and denominations. They are believers of Jesus. They have already repented of their sins, were baptized, filled with God’s Spirit, and are living in faith. However, God’s final call is for them to come out and become His people called by His name (Acts 15:14, 17), because He promised: “I will be their God, and they shall be My people”.
“For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). Only those people who gave their lives to Jesus, received His name and took on His identity shall be taken into His heavenly dwelling (Revelation 21:3–4). Are you ready to believe, receive, and live all that Jesus has provided for you, here on earth and in eternity? Begin your walk with Him today, because now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Tomorrow may be too late. There is eternal death in hell that awaits those who will reject God’s message and continue to their sinful ways, but there is also eternal life in heaven that awaits those who will receive God’s call to salvation today. Jesus loves you. “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. “God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him” (1 John 4:16).
Come and join The Jesus People in these last days.
