God Himself Came to Purchase Redemption - Part 778

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes -- to the Jew first, and also to the Greek, for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith. As it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

"Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) 

When you read the scriptures above, what are these saying to your heart? First, the verses point to the "name" from which salvation can be experienced, and second, these inform us that "no other name" under heaven can bring salvation. Not works. Not catechism. Not praying to statues or confessing your sin to priests. 

In this last dispensation of grace, one must believe on our Lord God and Saviour. Yes, Jesus is the only name given under heaven whereby you and I can be saved.

Further, if JESUS the Christ is not God manifest in flesh, then when, as the scriptures state, did God visit us? And when was the God who made the world in the world? JESUS was the offspring of the Holy Spirit inasmuch as JESUS was the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. For both SEEDS were of the Holy Spirit. 


Therefore, the embryo was God. No other was involved. God Himself coming forth from the innermost being of His holy Spirit, coming forth in a fashion as a man to become man’s only redeemer and Saviour.

"I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness: and will sing praise to the Name of the LORD most high." (Psalm 7:17)


"Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou only art holy; for all nations shall come and worship before Thee, for Thy judgments are made manifest." (Revelation 15:4)


"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant." (Luke 1:47-48) 


Then Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38)


"And now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." (Acts 22:16)


"For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." (Galatians 3:27)


"And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord." (Acts 10:48)


"I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." (John 5:43)

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ... and the Word became flesh." (John 1:1-14)


"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21)


"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (I John 5:7)


"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." (Colossians 2:9)


"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name ..." (Philippians 2:9-11)


"Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" (I Corinthians 1:13-15)

"To him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believes in Him shall receive remission of sins." (Acts 10:43)

"For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." (Acts 8:16)


"But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women." (Acts 8:12)


Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me." (John 14:6)
