Getting A Second Opinion

A farmer had been suffering from a rash on his leg and finally decided to visit a dermatologist to determine the cause. After a number of tests, the doctor was able to determine the cause. He called the farmer into his office and said, “Sir, after all of the tests and examinations, the results show that you are allergic to your dog. You will have to get rid of him.”
“No, sir,” replied the farmer emphatically. “It’s easier to get another doctor than another good bird dog. I’d rather get some other opinions and wait until I find someone who says I can keep my dog.”
There are many people who will not accept the fact that “There is salvation in no one else,” as Peter declared. This is not something that came from Peter or the other disciples; it came from Jesus Himself.
It was God’s decision to designate Jesus to be the Savior of the world. He has no equal and no one or no thing can take His place. It is important to be open-minded on many things before making some decision. But God’s Word says: “There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call upon to save them.”
Prayer: Thank You, Father, for that Name which is above every name, the Name of Jesus, who can save us. In His Name we pray. Amen.
Scripture for Today: Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

One Way

The famous entertainer, W. C. Fields, was an agnostic. One day, a friend came to visit him and found him reading the Bible.

“Bill,” he exclaimed, “it’s so good to see that you are reading the Bible. When did you change and become a Christian?”

“I haven’t,” he replied quickly. “I’m looking for loopholes.”

No matter how hard he might search, he will never discover a loophole in God’s Word.

There are many who do the same thing. They do not study God’s Word to learn of His salvation and grace. They read it looking for errors and omissions.

Others have difficulty in accepting God’s Word as the one final authority for truth. They do not want to believe that there is no other name besides the name of Jesus that they can call upon for salvation. This fact did not come from the church or any religious movement. It is a promise of God found in His Word.

God designated Jesus to be the only Redeemer and Savior. There never has been nor ever will be any other name for people to call upon for salvation. While there are some problems that may have more than one solution, when it comes to being forgiven of our sin, there is only One. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ.

Prayer: Thank You, Father, for Your Son Jesus, in whose name and through His work we find salvation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Scripture for Today: Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
