Acts 4:12
“There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.”
--------------------------------------------
I suddenly heard my name being called. When I looked at the direction where the shout is coming from, I saw my mother on the pool nearly drowning as she waved on me profusely.
I did not know what to do. I still remember that I may have called the attention of the lifeguard and she was saved. My mother may have called on to me, but I have no way of saving her. All I can do is to ask for help.
But calling on the Lord Jesus is different. His name is salvation. His name is mercy. His name is love.
You do this through a simple prayer reflecting your desire for Christ to change your life. You don't need fancy words - only an honest heart.
Accepting Christ is just the beginning of a wonderful adventure with God! Get to know Him better in a number of ways:
Follow Christ's example in baptism
Attend Sunday masses and worship God and grow in your faith
Get involved in Church activities and Bible study
Begin a daily personal worship experience with God where you study the Bible and pray
There is no other name like Jesus. The name that would make our hearts leap for joy. The name by which we are to be saved.
Let us pray +
Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe You died for my sin, and only through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen +
The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.
