Acts 4: 10-12
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of JESUS Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom GOD raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you well. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other Name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
These are the words of Peter,"filled with the Holy Spirit" (verse 8). The Holy Spirit only speaks the word of Truth, since He is one with the Father and the Son and is the very essence of the GODHEAD. What Peter says, by the Holy Spirit, is that The Name of JESUS carries power to heal and to save. To speak the Name of JESUS is to invoke the power that brings all heaven and earth and under the earth to their knees. All things confess that JESUS Christ is LORD to the glory of GOD the Father (Philippians 2:10,11). The Name of JESUS is Holy and when we speak His Name we are uttering the most precious and Holy Name above all names.
Too many times, the Name of JESUS is spoken casually among people. It is understandable among those who do not know Him, but to those who know the great price He paid for the salvation of us all, this Name must be spoken in reverence. In the Name of JESUS, all other names come together into the One. He is Elohim, Adonai, El, El Shaddai, YHWH and all other names for GOD in Scripture. Zechariah 14:9 says: " And the LORD shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall there be One LORD and His Name One." That Name is JESUS CHRIST the LORD.
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD
