Read Acts 4

Scripture- Acts 4:12- Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

Observation- Peter and John boldly and courageously stood up and told the Jewish church leaders that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus. That truth was comforting to Peter and John, but it also motivated them to go out and fearlessly spread this message. For there’s no other way for anyone to be saved except through Jesus. 

Application- This verse is such a comfort to me but it also challenges me. It’s comforting to know that salvation isn’t in my works or my feeble attempts. My salvation is found in Jesus and only Jesus. I rest in knowing him that he lived, died, and rose to save me. It’s complete. It’s also a challenge because this means that people that don’t know Jesus aren’t saved. The joy of salvation in Jesus motivates me to want to tell others today. For salvation is found in no other name under heaven except Jesus. 

Prayer- Father, thank you for winning my salvation for me through Jesus. What comfort that truth brings me today. Pour out your Holy Spirit on me that I may boldly tell others about Jesus so that they too may know their salvation. Amen.
