No Other Name!

September 21, 2026, Monday Message:

Acts 4:12 NLT, Peter, answering the religious council: “There is salvation in no one else but Jesus! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

Peter was not subtle. He didn’t handle the topic of salvation with kid gloves. He laid it right out, leaving no doubt as to his message. Having been arrested, he’s now defending himself before the elders, telling them what he believes. Having been an eyewitness to all that happened, his beliefs are unshakable.

Not only does Peter say that Jesus is the way to salvation, he says Jesus is the ONLY way! The old covenant in which people tried to live by the Law wasn’t working. The only way mankind could see salvation was if God intervened. In the New Covenant, God’s Son would pay the price for mankind’s sins, and people with the Son would receive forgiveness. Thereby rendered sinless, believers could be welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven.

I should point out that God’s plan for our salvation was contrary to what the religious leaders believed at that time. But Peter’s unflinching conviction caused everyone to take notice.

Nothing has changed. We still live under God’s New Covenant. The Bible says that Jesus is the way, the way to salvation. Jesus is truth. Every word he spoke was true then and is still true today. And Jesus is life, the key to eternal life, a life after this life. All believers in Jesus are assured a heavenly home. Jesus will prepare a place for you!
