There Is No Other Name 👑

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

Hey friends 👋

We’re continuing through Acts—so open your Bible and study along with me 📖

Peter and John have just witnessed a lame man healed in the name of Jesus. ✨

The crowd was amazed.

But not everyone was celebrating.

Verses 1–3:

Luke tells us the religious leaders were “greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.” ⚠️

The message of Jesus was challenging everything they believed. So Peter and John are arrested and put in jail ⛓️

Yet even then, God is still working!

Verse 4: “Many who heard the message believed…” 🔥

And the number of believers grew to about five thousand.

You can imprison people.

You cannot imprison the gospel.

Verses 5–7:

The next day, Peter and John are brought before the rulers, elders, and teachers of the law.

“By what power or what name did you do this?” 👀

The miracle had everyone talking.

Now they wanted answers.

Verse 8: “Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit…” 🕊️

The same Peter who once denied Jesus now stands boldly before powerful leaders.

What changed?

The Holy Spirit!

Verses 10–11:

Peter answers: “It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead…” 🔥

Then he quotes Psalm 118:22, written roughly 1,000 years earlier:

“The stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.” 📖

The very One they rejected had become the foundation of God’s plan.

Then comes one of the boldest declarations in all of Scripture.

Verse 12: “Salvation is found in no other name…” 👑

Not in religion.

Not in good works.

Not in another name.

Only JESUS!

Acts 4 reminds us that the gospel has always been exclusive in its message and inclusive in its invitation ✝️

Peter didn’t point to a system.

He pointed to a Savior.

The religious leaders wanted to know what power had healed the man.

Peter’s answer was simple: JESUS.

And that answer is still the same today 🔥

The name of Jesus still saves.

The name of Jesus still transforms.

The name of Jesus still has power 🕊️

So stand firm in your faith and never be ashamed of the name above every name!
