Acts 4:12 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV): “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Watching the National Day of prayer, seeing all the accolades being given to different faiths and all the different names [deities] of those being addressed by pray was insightful. I did not hear one mention the name of the LORD Jesus Christ; thus “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 Then how are they to be saved? Their not, sorry there all lost: “every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Judges 21:25b. So then what is one to believe? “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
The scripture reads as given by Paul in this “For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words” Ephesians 3:1-3. Needing to; “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15.
Not to single out Vice President M. Pence, we, those of the body of Christ are at one time or another, are all guilty. “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Mister Pence was given an opportunity to “do good unto all men,”, and by not speaking failed to give a good report on his beliefs and conversation in Christ, if in Christ, thus glorifying Him, God the LORD Jesus Christ.
We, the body of Christ have been given a mandate in that we are ambassadors. “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:18-21
To finish with this; “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:1-4
Amen . . . . . . .
