Phil.2:9-11 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Romans 10:13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
You may ask, just why is this name "Jesus" so important? He is part of the Holy Trinity. Father-God, Son-Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit which is why we were all created. We were created by God for His purpose which has eternal implications because our soul is eternal. Whatever we do, do it in Jesus' name! Col.3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. I am persuaded by God's word that a name holds great importance, not the highest degree of importance like God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit but an importance that will determine our eternal home. John 10:3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And for Him to know our name is very dear to every Christ follower! One final word about our name, Rev.20:15 And if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Oh Lord God Almighty, have mercy on us. We want to be with You in eternity. We are unworthy, except by Your grace, to be Your sheep. Teach us Your ways and let us show Your love to the lost. Amen
