The Greatness of Salvation

From a Sermon by C.E. Matthews

 

Hebrews 2:3 - How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the

first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that

heard him.

Why is this salvation so great? It saves us from Hell, it equips us to resist the

Devil, it guarantees us a mansion in Heaven and this salvation is so great

because it is the only one.

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. 

Go back to the birth of Jesus and the instruction of the angel: “… thou shalt

call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins”

(Matthew 1:21). He is the Savior. That was His name at the beginning. When you

accept the name, you accept all that it implies in the person who is involved.

Peter makes it clear, and I want to emphasize that when you come to Him,

my friend, you come to Him for salvation. There is no other name under

Heaven that can save you. The law can’t save you. Religion can’t save you. A

ceremony can’t save you. One alone, the name of Jesus, can save you. Jesus

is the name of that Person who came down to this earth to save His people

from their sins. When any person comes to Him in faith, that person is saved.

There is no other place to turn for salvation.

The sweetest of all Scriptures is found in Ephesians 2:8. For by grace are ye saved

through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Ephesians 2:9 – Not of works, lest any man should boast.
