GOSPEL NUGGET #330

Ac 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

There are three things we can learn about the Lord Jesus here in this verse:

* First, He is an EXCLUSIVE Savior.

No one else in the entire universe can save sinners, except the Lord Jesus Christ. He is THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life. No one comes to the Father EXCEPT through Him.

How about those who have never heard of the Lord Jesus Christ in certain parts of this world?

God has given each one of us light. If we are faithful to that light, He will make Himself responsible to lead us to the Light of the world, who is the Lord Jesus Christ.

God knows that if you are faithful with little, you will be faithful with much. He knows how to guide repentant sinners to the saving knowledge of the Savior where ever they may be.

* Second, He is an ESTABLISHED Savior.

There is no other name "GIVEN" among men by which sinners might be saved.

"Given" implies that He was established and appointed by God to be the lone Savior of sinners. Find your stable salvation in God's appointed Savior alone.

* Third, He is an EFFICIENT Savior.

It is only through Him that sinners can be truly "SAVED." Salvation is not found in yourself, in what you do or in others. He alone can truly saved you.

He died for us and rose again that anyone among us who will repent and put their trust in Him shall be saved. 
Come to the exclusive, established and efficient Savior of sinners and be saved!
