There is
salvation
in the name of Jesus (
Acts 4:12
12
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)
). The soul that trusts in Jesus gets all the saving virtue which belongs to that name.
There is
eternal life
in the name of Jesus (
John 20:31
31
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (John 20:31)
). The soul that trusts in Jesus becomes a partaker of His life a life which, because it is eternal, can never be forfeited.
There is
remission of sins
through the name of Jesus (
Acts 10:43
43
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:43)
). The soul that trusts in the name of Jesus is forgiven, according to the value of His name, in God’s judgment receiving all the value, credit and virtue of that name.
There is
power in prayer
in the name of Jesus (
John 14:13-14
13
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13‑14)
). The believer, coming to God in the name of Jesus, could no more be refused than Jesus Himself.
There is
power over Satan and all evil
in the name of Jesus (
Mark 16:17-18
17
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:17‑18)
;
Acts 3:6
6
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. (Acts 3:6)
;
James 5:14
14
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: (James 5:14)
). His blessed name has power in heaven, power on earth, power in hell, power over angels, power over men and power over devils. Let faith use that precious, matchless, powerful, all-prevailing name.
It is in the name of Jesus that God’s
assembly is gathered
by the Spirit of God (
Matt. 18:20
20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)
). Men may meet upon any ground or purpose they please. But the Spirit of God only gathers believers together in the blessed name of Jesus.
There is
administrative authority
in the name of Jesus (
1 Cor. 5:4-5
4
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (1 Corinthians 5:4‑5)
). The full credit of the name of Jesus is attached to the act of the assembly, when divinely gathered. Heaven gives the sanction of His name to the act.
There will be
universal, everlasting homage
paid to the name of Jesus (
Phil. 2:9-10
9
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (Philippians 2:9‑10)
). May God the Holy Spirit unfold to our souls, more and more, the power and value of the precious name of Jesus, that we with holy confidence at all times and in all things are enabled to use that precious name.
