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.
