Title: The Name Above All Names.

"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 

Devotion: This verse boldly declares the exclusivity and sufficiency of Jesus Christ as the source of salvation. In a world filled with countless pursuits and philosophies, it is a profound truth that no other name under heaven holds the power to redeem us from sin and grant us eternal life. The name of Jesus carries authority, grace, and hope because of His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the dead. His name is the ultimate declaration of love and victory.

  John 14:6 echoes this sentiment, where Jesus Himself says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." These words emphasize that salvation and reconciliation with God are found solely through Him. It's not about striving for perfection or earning His favor; instead, it is about placing our trust in the finished work of Christ. 

 Romans 10:13 reminds us, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." This is an open invitation—a promise for all. Calling on His name requires faith, surrender, and the acknowledgment that we need His saving grace.

Application:

Reflect on the significance of the name of Jesus in your life. Are you resting in His finished work, or are you relying on your own efforts for salvation? Today, let His name be a source of comfort, strength, and assurance.  

  Proclaim His name boldly in your daily life. Just as Peter and John were unapologetic in declaring the truth in Acts 4, we are called to share this life-giving message with others. In moments of doubt or difficulty, remember that His name is your refuge and strength.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. I praise You for the power and authority found in His name. Help me to trust fully in Him and live in the assurance of Your grace. May I boldly declare His name to the world, that others may come to know the saving power of Jesus. Amen.

As you meditate on this devotional, may your heart be encouraged and your faith deepened in the name above all names—Jesus. Let His name guide your steps today and every day!
