Yeshua the Name of Salvation
(Ps54:1; Mt1:21)

  God is the God of salvation (Ps68:20).
Salvation is in Him alone (Is43:11) and
He saves for the glory of His name (Ps79:9, 106:8).
 
Faith is longing to be saved by the name of Yeshua and
The life of this faith is clinging to the name of Yeshua until receiving salvation in the end (He9:28).
 
The Bible is the story of God saving by His name (Ps54:1)
Mankind from Hades that will become eternal fire (Mt25:41; 2Pe3:7).
 
Jehovah, the name of God in the Old Testament, refers to the Savior (Is43:3, 11) for
He saved Noah and his family from the great deluge (He11:7),
Lot and his family from the brimstone fire (Ge19:17),
Israel from the death of every firstborn, the Red Sea, the hands of their enemies, suffering,
Calamities and distresses etc (Ex12:27, 14:13; Nu10:9; 1Sa10:19).
As such, they were all physical, material salvation.
 
Despite the fact that they saw countless times the salvation of God
Through those whom God appointed as their saviors, such as
Moses, Joshua, the judges and the kings (Dt33:29), they forgot God (Ps106:21).
Nevertheless, when they were in distress,
If they returned to the Temple of Jerusalem where
The name of Jehovah was and cried out to Him, He saved them (2Ch20:9; Joel2:32).
 
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days” (Jn2:19), because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,
He would tear down the name of Jehovah, the name of physical, material salvation and
Let men believe in the name of Yeshua that saves eternally souls from hell (Jn3:17-18).
Thus, He performed many miracles as signs of salvation (Jn2:23),
But when they wanted to make Him king of their present world, He refused (Mt12:38-40; Jn6:15).
 
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that:
1)     The Father alone can save Him from death (He5:7);
2)     Judged the devil, the origin of sin (1Jn3:8); and
3)     Redeemed the sins of men and made the way to salvation (Eph1:7; He10:20).
 
He rose and ascended to heaven, becoming the source of eternal salvation (He5:9; Rev7:10).
The Holy Spirit whom He sent testifies that
There is no other name by which men must be saved but the name of Yeshua (Ac4:12), and
Lets those who have been redeemed by His blood (Eph1:7)
Grow up in their salvation (Php2:12; 2Th2:13; 1Pe2:2).
 
While the Son of Man did the work of redemption (Tit2:14),
Those who believe must work to receive the salvation of their souls (1Pe1:9).
Therefore, they cling to the rope of salvation of the name of Yeshua by
Repentance, baptism, gathering, praying, speaking in new tongues, laying hands, healing,
Preaching, doing good work, suffering, all in His name
(Mt18:20, 28:19; Mk16:17-18; Lk24:47; Jn14:13; Ac5:41, 9:15; Col3:17).
 
Material salvation in Judaism, liberation theology, the “prosperity” gospel etc
Puts the death of Yeshua to shame and
Insults the name of Yeshua.
 
The Christian knows that the salvation of his soul is
The greatest thing, the most pressing work (He2:1-4).
Therefore, he strives to ultimately save his own soul and all souls given to him, and
Give glory to the name of Yeshua.
 
O Lord,
Until we escape this burning universe,
Let not even one of us ignore so great a salvation (He2:3) and
Let us take hold of this rope of salvation, the name of Yeshua, and never let go!
Let us save our own souls and all the souls given to us in that day.  Amen. /p>
