“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” – Acts 4:12

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
Ever look around at others and think, “Well, I’m not as bad as they are. I’m pretty good most of the time, so I should be able to get into heaven?” Or how about, “You see, me and God, we’ve got an agreement. We’ve got things worked out?”
Let me make this clear – if you feel you can be right with God in your “own” way, you’re going to get to the end of your life, stand before God, and His judgment won’t come out in your favor. All of us are sinners. This separates us from God. Yet amazingly, God loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for our sins – to be a substitute in facing the sentence of death we actually deserve. So, if we feel like there is any way we can receive salvation other than through Jesus Christ, we are showing blindness to our own sinful ignorance. It’s absolutely appalling to God. God’s Word says: Continue on that course and you’re doomed. That is bad news.
Here is the Good News that follows the bad news of our sin. “If we confess our sin, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9). Wow–what could be better news than that?
There is only one way to salvation – Jesus!
In the end, where will you stand? Judgment or salvation – the choice is yours.
