“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.”
What does the word Salvation mean?
Salvation is necessary!
Vs 12 says we “must be saved”
Because we are lost, John 3:16 NASB
Because we can’t save ourselves.
God provided salvation for us. Why else would He do that except we must be saved
Salvation in the here and now
Salvation can’t happen after death. It has to happen in the here and now
There is only one way under heaven for salvation
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Prior to vs 12 we see that the name being talked about here is Jesus
The incredible thing is that salvation is offered to ALL!
for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
Salvation is a gift
You can’t buy it
You can’t earn it
You don’t deserve it
It is a perfect gift that God has offered you through Jesus Christ
He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
Now the question is, will you accept the gift?
A gift, no matter how amazing, is no good unless it is received.
God has offered to ALL the ultimate gift of Salvation
Will you simply accept it and be saved?
