In the Name of Jesus Christ - Raymond F McNair - November 1974

Raymond F McNair

Is salvation possible through any "savior" other than Christ Jesus? What does the Word of God say? "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). But how does one receive salvation through the name of Jesus Christ? First, it is necessary to understand the importance which God attaches to, a name - and to the meaning of a name. God originated the practice of naming things. When God created the first man, He named him "Adam" (Hebrew, "man"). God let Adam name his wife: "And Adam called his wife's name Eve [Hebrew, 'life' or 'living']; because she was [to be come] the mother of all living" (Gen. 3:20). God also named the angels, and assigned a name to every star (Ps. 147:4). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
