I Am God and Beside Me, There Is No Saviour - Part 1128

IF the people which are called by MY NAME will ...!

Who declared this promise? Of course, it was God. But as we discussed in earlier posts, God is not a name. God is a descriptive title. But what happens when some people suggest that both name and descriptive title are one and the same? That both terms really mean the same thing? The only legitimate response would be that it could only be the same because these folks want it to be.

And why would anyone want to adhere to such a belief? Well, perhaps to console themselves from their own misdirection. Rather than admit that the traditional beliefs that they have adhered to might be wrong, they prefer to keep on deceiving others, and unfortunately, being deceived themselves. Indeed, what would people think if one were to recant an original position? Even when people (and likewise institutions) have changed their positions from time to time.

So, again -- "If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (II Chronicles 7:14)
Certainly, the Word of God should be and is much more precious than silver and gold. Early believers were known to seek after the truths within the Word of God to the point that the Word of God became more important than their necessary sustenance. I’m sure most believers understand the depth and breadth of the Christian born again experience.

This is why in response to the question, "What is the name of the church you attend?" I can happily reply that I belong to "the JESUS people." In fact, is there anything else? The scriptures make the question of "who" Jesus is abundantly clear. For example, when Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do men say that I am?" they replied saying, some say this and some say that. Jesus then said to His disciples, "But who do you say that I am?"

Peter was first out the gate saying to Jesus, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Jesus then replied, "Peter, flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but My Father which is in Heaven has revealed this to you."

Yes, Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, God manifest in the flesh as a Son. God with us. Conceived of the Holy Ghost. In fact, in  Jesus did dwell all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Jesus -- the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. The King of kings and Lord of lords. So in essence, one could say Jesus was assuredly all of these.

But still, what was His name? This is the question. Of course JESUS is the name. The ONLY name under heaven whereby we must be saved. The ONLY name in which every individual baptized in -water in the new testament was baptized. That is, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:37-42)

They called His Name JESUS for He shall save His people from their sin! Other scriptures confirm this fact. For instance, "There is no other name under Heaven given among men whereby mankind must be saved." (Acts 4:12)  His precious name in this current dispensation of grace is JESUS!

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. What is the Name? JESUS! Believe on the LORD JESUS the Christ and you shall be saved. Look to Me all you people, even to the ends of the earth and be saved. Why?

Because I AM GOD and beside Me there is no Saviour. I AM the Good Shepherd, the same Good Shepherd that gave His life for His sheep. Tell me again - who was the Good Shepherd? There is only ONE Good Shepherd and His name is JESUS. The Name of JESUS is ABOVE every other name in both heaven and earth. God (eternal Spirit) has glorified His Son JESUS, declaring that JESUS is both LORD and CHRIST.

And let ALL the angels of GOD WORSHIP HIM! And you shall WORSHIP the LORD your GOD and HIM only shall you serve! And furthermore? Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Therefore, repent, and be baptized into the name of JESUS for the remission of sin so that you shall receive the gift of His holy Spirit. The Comforter. The Counsellor. The Holy Ghost. Yes, JESUS breathed on them saying, "Receive you, the Holy Ghost." And then He said, So what [or who] hinders you from being baptized?

Good question. Seek ye the kingdom of God and His righteousness through His Word. Study to show thyself approved, like a workman doth. Stand firm in His liberty and grace. Why? Because Jesus never fails.

Stand in the offering plate.
