"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)
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name ..." (Philippians 2:9)
In the scriptures, Jesus told the disciples that this cup is the new testament. He said, “a new testament." By referring to it as the new testament, He had rendered the former covenant old and obsolete. "The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:" (Hebrews 9:8)
If we review the scriptures in context, we find that the old covenant was between two parties. The new covenant is the last Will and Testament of the Holy Spirit’s only begotten son named Jesus. Obviously, Jesus did not consult with man before He wrote His last will and testament As a consequence, there are many people who will try to obscure His Will. The point that they need to note is that this WILL is more than a covenant. Why? For covenants come and covenants go. In this example, God walked away from the former covenant simply because the other party involved never fulfilled their part of the covenant.
But this new TESTAMENT is established between God who is Spirit and the man Christ Jesus -- the child of the Holy Ghost. The same Holy Ghost which overshadowed Mary so that she could bring forth a son. Therefore, the contents contained in the new testament are not dependant on the first Adam or attempts by the fallen race to somehow ratify salvation. However, Adam's fallen sinful offspring became benefactors of all the contained promises and blessings, simply because in the veins of the man Jesus flowed the blood of His own holy Spirit.
It is HIS blood that seals the everlasting testament. In order to receive the contents willed to you by the ONE GOD who was in the man Christ Jesus, you must come to the advocate of the will. This is the way that the Holy Ghost spoke through the mouth of Peter -- Until the day that Jesus was taken up, after that He gave commandments to the apostles THROUGH the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:1-4)
Remember when the people wanted to know what to do, and they asked this very question -- what must we do? They had come to the realization that they had, by their collective actions crucified the Lord of glory. As Peter (standing with the eleven) clearly stated, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." (Acts 2:36)
The response? Peter said to them, Repent (why not?) and be baptized (why not?) in water (symbolical of being buried as outlined in Romans chapter 6:3-6) in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38-41)
Yes, into the name of the Lord Jesus, said Peter. And as many as are water baptized into Jesus the Christ will be baptized into His death. This is why there is no other name under Heaven given among men whereby we can be saved. (Acts 4:12)
No other name. Only Jesus! Why? Because when the angel of the Lord appeared, there was no beating around the bush about the Name whereby He shall save His people from their sin.
You see, the modern day religious culture has tried to tell us that father, son and spirit are names but they are not. Rather, they are descriptive titles. We ourselves know this because we can be likened to these same descriptive titles in our own life, but we also have a name by which we are identified. And it is in His Name -- the precious name of the Lord Jesus wherein we can experience life more abundantly.
Therefore, don't let another day go by without asking the Lord Jesus into your heart and mind and soul. Take hold of His truth and don't let go for He is the answer to every life problem. And when we do, follow the instructions as per the words of the administrator of the New Testament (the Holy Ghost) and continue steadfastly in His Word.
