Acts 19:17. “And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.”
THE NAME The name of the Lord Jesus is the only authority behind salvation from sin. No other name in heaven or earth can in anyway conviction begin, And bring spiritual light that leads to new life when one is born again. Eternal life like a springing fountain is given by the power of His name. [v.5]
When the name of the Lord Jesus is misused by men; that is a grave mistake. To speak His name inappropriately or ever in vain His name to take – Denies the honor and respect that’s due Him – against that Stone you’ll break – Dignity, respect and reverence must be given Him whenever we pray or speak. [v.13]
Wherever His name is preached and the message of Christ crucified – The resurrection of the Lord is proclaimed and believers are justified. Those who respond in faith rejoice, and His name is magnified – The name of our Lord Jesus Christ is exalted and He is glorified. [v.17]
“O gracious Father, I come to Thee in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ knowing that the only acceptance I could have with Thee is through Him. For the great redemptive work of grace that is offered in His name – I give thanks. For the power that accompanies anything done in His name – I give thanks. For the results of being justified and Him being glorified – I give thanks. May I never be careless when I speak the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
