What does the Bible say about the name of Jesus?
IT IS THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES
âTherefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.â Philippians 2:9-11
Salvation is in the Name of Jesus
âAnd there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.â Acts 4:12
Did you know the name of Jesus means, âthe Lord savesâ? The Hebrew equivalent for Jesus is âYeshuaâ (Joshua), which means âYahweh is salvation.â
Remember that Joseph received a visit from the angel saying that Mary would be giving birth to a son, and His name would be Jesus, because He would save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).
Healing is in the Name of Jesus
But Peter said, âI have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jescus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walkâ (Acts 3:6).
The demons are subject to the Name of Jesus.
âThe seventy-two returned with joy, saying, âLord, even the demons are subject to us in your nameââ (Luke 10:17).
â...but Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, âI command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!â And it came out at that very momentâ (Acts 16:18).
We are baptized into the Name of Jesus
âAnd Peter said to them, âRepent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spiritââ (Acts 2:38).
We are made holy in the Name of Jesus
âAnd such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our Godâ
(1 Corinthians 6:11).
Answered prayer is in the Name of Jesus
âWhatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do itâ (John 14:13,14).
We have hope in the Name of Jesus
âAnd in His name the Gentiles will hopeâ (Matthew 12:21).
We will be hated because of the Name of Jesus
âYou will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be savedâ (Mark 13:13).
We give thanks to God in the Name of Jesus
â...always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Fatherâ (Ephesians 5:20).
There is truly no other name like His name! The question that we each must ask ourselves is, âHave I surrendered to Jesus, whose name is above every other name?â
