Part 3: No Other Name! Scripture Text: Acts 4:12 NIV “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 NIVFour truths about the Name of Jesus:Truth 1: No Other Name can Save you and reconcile you to the Father.John 14:6 NIV“…the secular response to the Christ story always goes like this. He was a great prophet who had a lot to say along the lines of other great prophets, be they Elijah, Muhammad, Buddha, or Confucius. But actually, Christ doesn’t allow you that. He doesn’t let you off that hook. Christ says, ‘No. I’m not saying I’m a teacher, don’t call me a teacher. I’m not saying I’m a prophet. I’m saying: I’m the Messiah. I’m saying: I am God incarnate.’ And people say: No, no, please, just be a prophet. A prophet we can take. So what you’re left with is either Christ was who He said he was—the Messiah—or a complete nutcase.” –Bono, U2Application:Settle the fact that you’re lost without JESUS and make the choice to follow Him today.Romans 10:9-10 NASBPray this prayer or something similar:God, I’m lost without You! I’m tired of trying to find my own way. Today I’m choosing Your Way! Thank You for Sending Jesus to save me from my sins. I confess He died for all of my sins on the Cross at Calvary. I believe He rose again on the third day just like the scriptures said He would. I choose to follow Him from this day forward in the fellowship of His church.
