Acts 4:12

PASSAGE: Acts 4:12 - And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

PAUSE: How can we be sure that salvation can't be found in any number of religions? Especially when we're following our religious system with great sincerity? Won't God reward me for my efforts? As popular as that opinion may be, it is false. You see, that's the main tenet of all of these other religions -- they all say that salvation depends on your effort in how well you follow its rules. Christianity, however, is the only religion that flips that script. It's the only religion that says NOTHING you can do will earn your way to God. It is the only religion that offers salvation as a free gift apart from your own works. Not only is Christianity unique in its offer, Christ is also unique in the way He followed through with His miraculous claims! When He said He would die and rise again, it actually happened! Salvation is NOT through Buddha, Mohammad, human government, self-effort, good works, church attendance, etc. Salvation is through Jesus alone!

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, No one else can save us because no one else sacrificed their life to pay for the sins of the world. Jesus, we bow before You and worship You alone and praise Your beautiful, holy Name! Amen.
