| NO OTHER NAME |

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.
There is no other name under heaven.
The angel that appeared to Joseph emphasized the meaning of Jesus' name.
"She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who
will save His people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21). Jesus, from the Hebrew
Joshua, or Jehoshua, means "Jehovah will save." The name itself was a
testimony to God's salvation. But, the angel told Joseph, Mary's Son would
be the very embodiment of Jehovah's salvation. He Himself would save His
people from their sins.
After Jesus' resurrection, Peter, speaking before the Sanhedrin, also
emphasized the importance of Jesus' name. "There is salvation in no one
else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men,
by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
