‘There is no other name under
heaven given among men by which we must be saved.â€
~ Acts
4:12, NKJV
“Although
God is the Creator of us all, nowhere does the Bible say we are all His
children. On the contrary, there are two conditions you and I must meet
before we can be called God’s children. One is that we must receive Jesus, or
open the door of our hearts and invite Him to come in. The other is that we
must believe in His Name. “Believing in His Name
means we must be willing to commit our lives to all that He is as represented
by His Name. And His Name is Lord Jesus Christ. “The qualification for
being a child of God by believing on His Name means much more than just head
knowledge. It is not just giving intellectual assent to the fact that the
Name Lord Jesus Christ is the label attached to the Person. It means to rest
in Jesus, to put all of our trust on Him alone for forgiveness and salvation.†~ By Anne Graham Lotz ***
