THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NAME JESUS!

THE NAME:  JESUS!

Matthew 1:21 - And she (Mary) shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS:  for He shall save His people (the Jews) from their sins.

Matthew 12:21 - And in His name shall the Gentiles (non-Jews) trust.

Luke 1:31-35 - And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call His name JESUS.  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:  and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:  and He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:  therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Luke 10:17 - And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name.



John 1:11-13 - He (Jesus) came unto His own (people; the Jews), and His own received Him not.  But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:  who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 3:17-18 - For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.  He that believes on Him is not condemned:  but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.

John 20:30-31 - And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book:  but these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through His name.

Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 3:6-7 - Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee:  In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.  And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

Acts 4:9-12 - If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom you crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, even by Him does this man stand here before you whole.  This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.  Neither is there salvation in any other:  for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Acts 9:15-16 - But the Lord said unto him (Ananias), Go thy way:  for he (Saul of Tarsus) is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:  For I will show him how great things he must suffer for My name's sake.

Acts 10:38-43 - How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:  Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.  And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; Whom they slew and hanged on a tree:  Him God raised up the third day, and showed Him openly; not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him after He rose from the dead.  And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is He Who was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick (living) and dead.  To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name, whosoever believes in Him shall receive remission of sins.

HOW IMPORTANT IS THE NAME JESUS?

[This is my understanding of Romans 10:9-13]

IF YOU WILL PUBLICLY CONFESS YOUR FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS, AND DO BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU SHALL BE SAVED.  FOR WITH THE HEART, MAN BELIEVES AND IS DEEMED TO BE RIGHTEOUS, AND WITH HIS MOUTH, HIS DECLARATION OF FAITH IN HIM RESULTS IN HIS SALVATION.  FOR THE SCRIPTURES SAY, WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.  AND IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE A JEW OR A GENTILE, THE LORD ACCEPTS WHOEVER CALLS UPON HIM.  FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED!
