The word "salvation" appears 162 times in the Bible (NKJV). In both the Old and the New Testaments, it conveys the idea of being saved from a terrible fate. One of the most prominent occurrences of this word is in Acts 4:12, in which Peter declared, "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).
Jesus Christ - and He alone! - saves us from sin, death, judgment, and hell. He died on Calvary's cross, offering His blood as atonement for sin. We come to Him in simple faith, for we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).
This is contrary to modern opinion. Comedian Jim Carrey, for example, recently told 60 Minutes that he has replaced anti-depressant drugs with spirituality. He said, "I'm a Buddhist, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Christian. I'm whatever you want me to be. . . . It all comes down to the same thing."(1)
No, it doesn't. There is no other name given under heaven among men by which we must be saved.
Do you know Jesus as your Savior?
