Acts 4:12  “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Those who work in procurement well know the term “sole source”; that is, there is only one place to get some item or service.  The problem is, if you lose your “sole source”, there is no other place to obtain what you need.  In this passage, the “sole source” for our Eternal Salvation is “Jesus Christ” (Acts 4:10).  It is very clear that “Neither is there salvation in any other”; that is, there is no other person, activity, event, declaration, proclamation, etc. that can save people to Eternal Heaven; “for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved”.  The very name “Jesus Christ” declares that He is the “sole source” of our Eternal Salvation.  “Jesus” means ‘Jehovah Is Our Salvation’.  “Christ” means that “Jesus” was Anointed Of God to “save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).  And, The “sole source” for our Eternal Salvation did not and will not fail us, He plainly declared, “It is finished” (John 19:30); that is, by His blessed Sacrifice, He and He alone fully and finally saved everyone of “his people from their sins”, to Eternal Life with Him.  Furthermore, our Lord “finished” the work of our Eternal Salvation long before we had the sense to know or love Him, long before we ever heard the Gospel preached, long before we were given Spiritual Life to believe in Him, and even before we were conceived in our mother’s womb.  In “Jesus Christ” alone “we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” (Ephesians 1:11)!  Knowing this blessed truth ought to move us to prayerfully ask “What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?” (Psalms 116:12) and to “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2).
