“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.”

The council asks, “By what power or by what name did you do this?” (Acts 4:7). This verse makes it clear that the authority Peter used to heal a lame man came from Christ. The only way to salvation is through Jesus. The name of Christ has power and authority. Jesus brings deliverance from sin and helps bring us spotless and redeemed before God. God’s salvation keeps us safe and grants us eternal life. This gives very specific descriptions that identify Jesus as the Messiah the Jews have been waiting for. Amen
