And This Is The Record, That God Hath Given To Us Eternal Life And this Life Is In His Son -- The Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.- Part 1858

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)

Who declared this promise? Of course, it was the Lord God. But as we have looked at before, God is not a name. Rather, 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 ... perhaps, to console themselves from their own misdirection.

Nevertheless, our beliefs are not based on unsubstantiated opinion. In fact, Jesus told us that we are sanctified by truth, and then He said (just in case we missed it) that Thy Word is Truth! (John 17:17) This same Word that is forever confirmed in heaven is more precious than silver and gold. " For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven." (Psalm 119:89)

Thus, in studying the New Testament (written specifically for us in this dispensation of grace) early believers were known to seek after the truths of 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. Certainly, there is an example found in the first and second chapter of Acts. Indeed, the outpouring of the Holy Ghost led to the establishment of the New Testament church on the day of Pentecost, wherein, the first 3,000 souls saved attested to this same Jesus whom they have crucified --as both Lord and Christ.

So who is Jesus? God manifest in the flesh as a Son. Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, God with us. Conceived of the Holy Ghost. In Jesus did dwell all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. So all of these, Jesus assuredly was. But still, what was His name? This is the question. Of course JESUS is the name given unto men whereby we must be saved. (Matthew 1:21-23; Luke 1:36; Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:9)

Yes, the angel declared that His Name is Jesus. Other scriptures confirm this same fact. For instance, There is no other name under Heaven given among men whereby mankind can be saved. The Name 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 as the scripture states, and the Spirit dwelling within us confirms, "I AM GOD and beside Me there is no Saviour." I AM the Good Shepherd, the same Good Shepherd that gives 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 Heaven and Earth. God (eternal Spirit) has glorified His Son JESUS, declaring that JESUS is both LORD and CHRIST.

Therefore, let ALL the angels of GOD WORSHIP HIM! And you shall WORSHIP the LORD your GOD and HIM only shall you serve! And further, what do the scriptures state? Yes, that every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus the Christ is Lord. The scriptures also state that repentance and remission of sin should be preached among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Therefore, repent, and be baptized into the Name of JESUS for the remission of sin so that you shall receive the gift of His Spirit -- the Holy Ghost. Just like the apostles did when Jesus called them and said, "Follow Me!"

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) The promise for one and all, but if we are to receive the blessing, we need to repent first, and to accept Jesus the Christ into our hearts.

Yes, JESUS breathed on them saying, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost ..." And that message has not changed from the beginning of time.

Jesus said, "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand." (John 10:28)

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.(Romans 10:9)
