No other name

let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” – Acts 4.10-12

People have tried everything throughout history to try and get to God. Since man has ‘eternity in his heart’ it is only natural that eternity is going to be on our minds. So men have created all kinds of religions and tried to pave their own way to get to their concept of deity.

People will even tell you today that all roads lead to heaven or that in the end God will save everyone. They will tell you that if if you do your best and your good outweighs your bad you will be saved.

But none of that is going to work.

When Jesus was still alive He said ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one gets to the Father but through me.’ If there were any other way for anyone to go the Father it would make no sense for Jesus to come to earth and die for mankind.

There is no other way and no other name.

That’s why we have to go and share.
