The Name of Jesus

Have you noticed how easily many people can use God as one of their curse words. Have you noticed how many people can use the name of Jesus sinfully- they take the precious name of Jesus and mix it in the muck and mire. They have no problem to blaspheme the name of the Lord, the One who gave them life on this earth, and (by His will) gives them every breath. They have no problem to blaspheme the name of the Lord, the One who died for sinners on the Cross, to make the only way (John 14:6) for them to be forgiven for their sins, and be reconciled to God, if they put their faith in Him.

The Bible says in Philippians 2:9-11 KJV, 'Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.'

Any person that does not bow down to the name of Jesus, and confess Him as Lord on this side of eternity, will on the other side, but then it will be without the mercy and the grace of God: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement (Heb. 9:27 KJV). They will bow the knee to Him, and confess Him as Lord (you can be sure about that), before they go to their eternal destination, the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:15). The Bible says, 'But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire brimstone: which is the second death' (Rev. 21:8 KJV).

There is only mercy and grace to be found this side of eternity. Don't wait until the other side of eternity to bow the knee to the name of Jesus, and confess Him as Lord, and go to hell, but come to Him now. The Lord Jesus Christ step out of heaven (fully God), was born as flesh (fully human) but One Person (the Person of Christ), lived a sinless life, died for sinners on the Cross and secured the salvation for each believer, paying their sin debt in full. The Bible says in Ephesians 1:7 LITV, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Jesus was buried, and on the third day, He rose from the dead (Luke 24:46-47 and 1Cor. 15:3-4). He has made the way (He is the way) for you to come to God, to be forgiven of your sins, and go to heaven (when you die) and to be with Him forever, but you must receive this free gift by God's grace, by repentace and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Bible teaches, '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 KJV). The Bible says, 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life' (John 3:16 KJV).

The Bible says, '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 KJV). The Bible says, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast' (Eph. 2:8-9).

Repent toward God (which means a change of mind and heart toward God) and put your complete faith in Lord Jesus Christ and trust in Him to save you by His death, burial, and resurrection, and be saved (Acts 20:21)
