May 23 | Acts 4:12

“And in no one else is there salvation, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given to people on which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Atheists complain about Christians being exclusive. They point to a few passages in Scripture like John 14:6 and this one. But Christianity is not the only exclusive religion. Muslims are exclusive, Most religions are.

Although they bristle at texts like this, the truth is often hard to handle. Jesus came and dealt with naysayers and unbelievers throughout His ministry. Most religious leaders do not claim they are gods or divinely inspired. Only Jesus can save you. He’s the only one who promises eternal life and deliver it. Our salvation is not limited to this life.

Jesus saves us for eternity. It’s not about protecting us from the problems in this life. We don’t come to Jesus just to get out of eternal condemnation. It’s not our get out of jail free card.

You came to Jesus because you see His truth and want to know Him. The only way you could test if you receive eternal life is to die. Jesus calls you to follow Him. He promises eternal life. You trust to His promises.

Action Step: You trusted in Jesus for eternity. Put your life in His hands and don’t question His promises. They last for a lifetime.

Lord Jesus, I place my life in Your hands without reservation. I know You will do great things in my life now, and will give me eternal life.
