"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."
Moreover, we learn from the scriptures that "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. (Philippians 2:9; Acts 4:12)
Not by works. Not through religious catechism. And most certainly, not praying to statues or confessing your sin to priests.
In this current dispensation of grace, one must believe in our Lord God and Saviour. The same God our Saviour that Mary (the mother of Jesus) rejoiced in. (Luke 1:46) This is why Jesus is the only name given under heaven whereby you and I can be saved.
But if JESUS the Christ is not God manifest in flesh, as many within the modern day religious culture would have us believe, then when, as the scriptures state, did God visit us? When did God -- after His kindness and love toward man appear? (Titus 3:4-7)And when was the God who made the world in the world? (John 1:10-11) In other words, when did God become our Saviour? (Acts 20:28)
Nevertheless, JESUS was the offspring of the Holy Ghost, inasmuch as JESUS was the manifestation of the Holy Ghost. For both SEEDS were of the Holy Ghost. Therefore, the embryo -- the holy thing, as Luke stated -- 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.
Therefore, we all have a choice, which at the end of the day comes down to us responding to the question -- what are we going to do with Jesus? Will we say yes, and ask Him into our hearts, going onto be water baptized in His precious, holy Name? (Acts 2:36-41) Remember, God had said that He would that we would all come to Him -- as in today is the day of salvation! Today is the day that the Lord hath made, so we can rejoice!
Please don't delay, for the Lord Jesus has so very much more for you this day.
Stand in the offering plate.
