There Is No Salvation Apart From Jesus' Precious Name

Acts 4:10-12, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” 

When Hollywood actors and famous people are asked if they believe in God, they often shirk off the question, attempting to take a middle of the road approach to avoid incriminating one's self as being a Christian. Most of them claim to be agnostic (unsure whether God exists or not). It is common to hear celebrities digress by talking about the god in all of us (new age ideologies). Buddhism is also popular in Hollywood, which is a false religion that cannot produce the new birth Biblically required to get to Heaven. 

God cannot save you unless you receive Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full-payment for your sins. If you reject Christ, then God cannot save you because there is NO OTHER WAY to be saved. That is what the Bible means by ye are fallen from grace. Galatians 5:4, “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.That doesn't mean you can lose God's salvation. For a child of God to lose salvation, God would have to stop being God. Once saved, always saved! I like to say instead: If saved, always saved!” Unfortunately, most people who profess to be Christians are not! I just read last week in the news that 25% of professed Christians in England don't even believe Jesus resurrected from the dead! They cannot be saved and deny Christ's bodily resurrection!!! Only a truly born-again person is a Christian according to the Word of God (John 3:1-7). 

To “fall from grace” means that a person has rejected God's provision in Christ Jesus to be saved, and there remains no other sacrifice for sins. It's Jesus or Hell friend. Acts 4:10-12 plainly teaches that salvation is found ONLY in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. If you try to enter into Heaven some other way, the Bible calls you a thief and a robber in John 10:1b. Jesus is the only door into Heaven (John 10:9). Believe the Gospel to be saved! Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for the sins of all humanity (1st John 2:2). Salvation is freely offered by God to everyone (John 3:16). God is no respecter of persons, He desires that all should come to repentance” (2nd Peter 3:9b). That includes homosexuals and the vilest of sinners, criminals and inhumane monsters. The Gospel can transform the worst of men into the godliest of saints, through the renewing of one's mind with THE BOOK THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!!! 

If you desire to be saved, it is a completely free gift from God (Romans 5:15; 6:23), paid for by Jesus' precious blood (1st Peter 1:18-19). You don't have to ask Jesus to save you, because He is already offering it to you! You simply need to receive His free gift by faith in Him alone. Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” John 3:16, “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.” Just believe Oh sinner and you are saved! 


John 3:16-17, “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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
