The words \"there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved\" are recorded in Acts 4:12.<\/b> This text is one of the clearest biblical statements that salvation is found only in Jesus Christ<\/i>. For a Christian, this is not just a beautiful phrase, but the foundation of faith, hope, and life.<\/p>\n

The direct text<\/h2>\n

\"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<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the previous verse Peter directly names whom he is speaking about:<\/p>\n

\"By the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead \u2014 by Him this man stands here before you whole!\" Acts 4:10<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the center of this statement stands the person of Jesus Christ<\/b> \u2014 the crucified, risen, living Savior. Peter is not speaking about some impersonal force or moral system\u2014he is testifying about a specific Lord.<\/p>\n

Context: why Peter said this<\/h2>\n

Acts 3 describes the miracle of the healing of a man lame from birth. The people were amazed, and Peter explained that the healing happened not by human power, but through faith in the name of Jesus<\/i> (Acts 3:16). This stirred the displeasure of the religious leaders.<\/p>\n

When Peter was asked: \"By what power or by what name have you done this?\"<\/i> (Acts 4:7), he, filled with the Holy Spirit, clearly testified about Jesus. In biblical thought, a name is connected with the person, authority, character, and mission<\/b>. Therefore, salvation in the name of Jesus means salvation through Christ Himself<\/i> \u2014 through His sacrifice, righteousness, and intercessory ministry.<\/p>\n

What \"there is no other name\" means<\/h2>\n

This verse affirms the exclusivity of Christ. It leaves no room for the idea<\/b>, as though there were many equally valid ways to God. Jesus Himself said:<\/p>\n

\"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.\" John 14:6<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The apostle Paul adds:<\/p>\n

\"For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.\" 1 Tim. 2:5<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This text directs attention not to the church, not to human merits, not to religious forms<\/i> \u2014 but to Christ alone. The church is important, truth is important, obedience is important, but none of these replaces the Savior<\/b>:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.\u201d Eph. 2:8\u20139<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How this truth is woven through the whole Bible<\/h2>\n

Acts 4:12 does not stand alone. The name Jesus<\/i> means \"The Lord saves\"\u2014and this is the essence of the gospel message:<\/p>\n

\"And you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.\" Matt. 1:21<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.\" John 3:16<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.\" 1 John 5:11\u201312<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why this text matters today<\/h2>\n

Today many think it is enough to be a \"good person,\" to have spirituality without Christ, or simply to belong to a religious tradition. But Acts 4:12 brings us back to biblical reality: humanity's problem is sin, and the solution is Christ<\/b>. Good works are important as the fruit of faith<\/i>, but they cannot redeem guilt.<\/p>\n

This verse gives assurance<\/b>: if salvation depended on our perfection, no one would stand. But since it is grounded in the name of Jesus, the one who repents has hope:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.\u201d 1 John 1:9<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What this means for you<\/h2>\n

This verse calls us not merely to know the right quotation, but to personally trust in the Lord<\/b>. Practically speaking:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Come to Christ daily in prayer.<\/li>\n
  2. Study His Word.<\/li>\n
  3. Repent of your sins.<\/li>\n
  4. Receive His grace.<\/li>\n
  5. Live by faith in His name.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If a person seeks salvation, peace with God, and assurance of eternal life\u2014they will find all of this only in Jesus<\/i>.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"faq_question":"\u0413\u0434\u0435 \u0432 \u0411\u0438\u0431\u043b\u0438\u0438 \u0441\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430\u043d\u043e, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u043d\u0435\u0442 \u0434\u0440\u0443\u0433\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0434 \u043d\u0435\u0431\u043e\u043c \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0441\u043f\u0430\u0441\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f?","bible_refs":"\u0414\u0435\u044f\u043d\u0438\u044f 4:12, \u0414\u0435\u044f\u043d\u0438\u044f 4:10, \u0414\u0435\u044f\u043d\u0438\u044f 3:6, \u0414\u0435\u044f\u043d\u0438\u044f 3:16, \u0414\u0435\u044f\u043d\u0438\u044f 4:7, \u0418\u043e\u0430\u043d\u043d\u0430 14:6, 1 \u0422\u0438\u043c\u043e\u0444\u0435\u044e 2:5, \u0415\u0444\u0435\u0441\u044f\u043d\u0430\u043c 2:8, \u041c\u0430\u0442\u0444\u0435\u044f 1:21, \u0418\u043e\u0430\u043d\u043d\u0430 3:16, 1 \u0418\u043e\u0430\u043d\u043d\u0430 5:11\u201312, 1 \u0418\u043e\u0430\u043d\u043d\u0430 1:9","answer_lang":"ru","source_question":"\u0413\u0434\u0435 \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043d\u043e: \u041d\u0435\u0442 \u0434\u0440\u0443\u0433\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0434 \u043d\u0435\u0431\u043e\u043c, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u043c \u043d\u0430\u0434\u043b\u0435\u0436\u0430\u043b\u043e \u0431\u044b \u043d\u0430\u043c \u0441\u043f\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438\u0441\u044c."},"answer_topic":[147],"class_list":["post-9206","answers","type-answers","status-publish","hentry","answer_topic-salvation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answers\/9206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/answers"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"answer_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answer_topic?post=9206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
