Name

Acts 4:12

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

We are sinners and need to in reverence and awe speak the Name of our Maker in confession and repentance of all sin and not with needless repetition.

Jesus has many Names. He is even identified with some of the same Names as God the Father. From Genesis to Revelation the word God is used to make known our Creator to us and show us His character.

The first chapter of the Bible lets us know that there was more than one person involved in the making of planet earth. “Let us make man in our image after our likeness.” God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Spirit, Three Persons.

When we are presenting the plan of salvation to English speaking people we want to use the language that they will understand and is used in the Bible. It does not need to be made confusing with a restriction of the original foreign tongue that we do not know how to pronounce.

All through the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy God, Lord, Spirit, Jesus, and numerous other Names such as Jehovah, I Am, Messiah, Christ, are used to call attention to whom we are to worship. If we were not to use these names they would not be there for us to use and share with others. And we would have been told not to utter God`s Name on our sinful lips.

2 Thessalonians 1:12

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 1:21

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

John 20:31

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye 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 ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 4:10

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

Acts 15:26

Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:10

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Do You Know Who Melchizedek is?

It’s a wonderful name and a harmonious name and even sounds heavenly. It is evident that Abraham knew of Melchizedek’s status and authority, for Abraham paid Him tithes of all.

When the kings of the surrounding cities came to make war with the kings of Sodom and Gomorah and Admah, Zeboiim and Bela Lot, Abraham’s nephew was taken captive and so Abraham armed his own household for war with his 318 trained men.

He divided the men and pursued them by night. He brought back all the goods and all the people.

Melchizedek, the King of Salem, the Priest of the Most High God came from Salem to meet Abraham and brought them food and Abraham gave Him tithes of all.

He was known to be the King of Righteousness, King of Salem which is King of Peace. This sounds like a Holy Divine Person.

He was a person who didn’t have a father or mother or any descendents on earth. He had no beginning to His life and He is still alive and will have no end to His life. He is made like the Son of God. In Hebrews is where you can read about Melchizedek.

He was not born on this earth and did not have a human family. He spent some time on this earth to teach the people the way of salvation. He always was in existence and did not have a beginning to His life.

He is not Jesus but is like Jesus because they are both Divine persons. Melchizedek is the Holy Spirit spending some time on this earth in His special Priesthood. The Holy Spirit is the Representative of the Father, the voice of God on earth.

It is a special privilege to have the Holy Spirit to guide us in the truths of the Bible.

At the time of the creation of the world the Holy Spirit of God participated in the creation of the world and moved upon the face of the waters.

Throughout the history of the world the Holy Spirit has been working on mans hearts to bring them to repentance of their sins.

The Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she brought forth and gave birth to the begotten Son of God. When Jesus was baptized and came up out of the water the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus showing Himself in the form of a burnished gold dove.

The symbol of the dove shows the gentleness and meekness of our lovely Jesus. The spirit is the fullness of the Godhead. The heavenly trio, three living persons is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. When we are baptized it is in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

So put your life into harmony and obedience to the law of the Lord so that the Holy Spirit can give supplies of grace to be overcoming the snares of this devil in the world. It’s good to ask everyday for the Holy Spirit to take control of your life to help in your work and become victorious in the end.
