THE ONLY ONE WHO SAVES
A book in my library describes a marshal in Napoleon's army who was completely devoted to the emperor. One day the marshal was mortally wounded in battle. As he lay dying in his tent, he called for Napoleon, who soon came. The officer thought the emperor could save his life. But Napoleon just shook his head and turned away. The book describes the tragic scene: "As the dying man felt the cold, merciless hand of death drawing him irresistibly behind the curtain of the unseen world, he was still heard to shriek out, 'Save me, Napoleon! Save me!"' In the hour of death, that soldier discovered that even Napoleon could not rescue him. Similarly, when a person seeks deliverance from spiritual death, he finds that no human being has the power to save-no minister of the gospel, no priest, not even those who are great prayer warriors. Only Jesus can save a soul. The Bible says, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Have you asked Jesus to save you? If not, do it now! He always answers those who plead for His mercy and put their trust in Him. He is the only One who saves. -RWD

There is no other name on earth by whom salvation's given.  Save Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, God's precious gift from heaven.

CHRIST BELIEVED IS SALVATION RECEIVED.

Acts 4:1-12 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand. And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; 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 whole. 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 none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. This scripture is taken from the King James version.
