TOPIC: THERE IS NO SALVATION IN ANY OTHER NAME. FRIDAY JULY 21
TEXT: JOHN 3:16-18
KEY VERSE: Key Verse: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men; whereby we must be saved”.(Acts 4:12).

God is the source of salvation. He is the foundation and basis of man's salvation. He accomplished the salvation of man in Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary. The salvation of man was the main reason why Christ came to the world. The Bible says “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.” The apostles stressed the invariability of salvation through Jesus when they said, “Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Only Jesus possesses the divine ability and authority to give salvation to man. Christ is the sole source of our salvation via His sinless life and His substitutionary atonement. He shed his blood for the remission of our sins. Only a perfect, complete and incorruptible righteousness can secure a perfect and complete salvation and this we find in Christ.

The ground of salvation is a righteousness that satisfies God's justice and this is found only in Jesus. Jesus saith, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. He is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. There is no access to the Father except through Christ. With respect to their merit, with respect to their personal righteousness, all men are classified as having: “sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” How, then, are sinners justified? How, then, are sinners declared righteous? The sinner is justified, in spite of his lack of merit, in spite of his condemnation, by God's grace wherein God supplies the needed righteousness in His son and accepts what is supplied in His son on the sinner's behalf.

However, appropriation of the salvation brought by Christ involves the sinner's response. We are justified by faith. This faith is not faith in self-justification, but faith directed toward Christ. It is accepting, receiving and resting upon Christ alone for salvation.

Thought for the day: Only Jesus can save!
Song for the day: Oh hallelujah, salvation is from God alone…
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 34-35; Acts 22

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
