"The Name"

 

“The Name”

 

He humbled Himself by becoming OBEDIENT to the point of death---even to death on a cross.  For this reason God also highly exalted Him and gave Him the NAME that is above EVERY name.  Philippians 2:8-9

 

God gave the NAME of JESUS to His ONE and ONLY Son, who HUMBLED HIMSELF and was OBEDIENT to His Heavenly Father, even to the POINT of His DEATH on the CROSS of CALVARY.  This NAME, was and is the ONLY NAME under Heaven given to people by which we MUST BE SAVED.  For ANYONE who CALLS on the NAME of the LORD will be SAVED.  That NAME is JESUS!

 

God gave His Son the NAME of JESUS, so that at the very MENTION of His NAME, EVERY knee should bow---and EVERY tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD to the GLORY of GOD the FATHER.  And it WILL HAPPEN on the LAST DAY, whether it is done WILLINGLY or not. 

 

For those who are TRUE BELIEVERS, who have, at some point in their lives, CALLED on the NAME of JESUS for their SALVATION, the NAME brings PEACE, JOY and ASSURANCE to their TROUBLED HEARTS.  For they KNOW that God LOVES them and that He will KEEP His PROMISE of an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS. 

 

However, for the UNBELIEVER, those who have NOT CALLED on the NAME of JESUS for their SALVATION, the NAME of JESUS has very LITTLE if any meaning or significance to them.  And they are content with their SINFUL LIFE-STYLE, because they live in DARKNESS and are INFLUENCED by Satan.  They are NOT CONCERNED with their ETERNITY, because they do NOT BELIEVE in GOD, JESUS or SALVATION.  They FOLLOW LIES, instead of BELIEVING the TRUTH, and therefore, they are DESTINED for an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE after they are there.  Is that your DESTINY?  

 

If you have NOT CALLED on the NAME of JESUS for the SALVATION of your soul, and you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then I’m afraid that that is EXACTLY your DESTINY.  In order to change your DESTINY, you MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that HE is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION by CALLING on that NAME that is ABOVE ALL NAMES, the NAME of the LORD JESUS for your SALVATION, and to RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  PLEASE, do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
