Acting On The Name Of The Lord AUTHORITY Part A – Salvation
The “Name Of The Lord” • A Biblical phrase found numerous times in the N.T. • Refers to authority of Him who owns, possesses the name invoked by others Acts 4:7-12 1 Cor 5:4
The “Name Of The Lord” • A discussion of adherence to the authority behind this “name” to obtain some benefit or blessing • Namely, the blessing of salvation Acts 2:21 Rom 10:9-13
What Did The Lord Say? • Re: salvation… • He is our “captain” Heb 2:10 • He is our “author” Heb 5:8-9 • His intent was to bring salvation (life) to all men Jn 10:10
What Did The Lord Say? • He said… • We must believeJn 8:24 1 Jn 3:23 • We must repentLk 13:3 Acts 17:30 • We must confess Him Mt 10:32-33 Rom 10:10 • We must beimmersedMk 16:16 1 Pet 3:20
What Did The Lord Say? • His final instructions Mt 28:18-20 Mk 16:15-16 Lk 24:46-47 • They “set the tone” for the inspired record that followed • His name makes these instructions binding upon all men of all ages
What Does The Record Reveal? • Not everything He said or did is recorded • Yet, what is recorded is sufficient Jn 20:30-31 • Notice the authority appealed to by His servants Acts 2:36-39 8:5, 12-17 10:44-48 19:1-5 22:11-16
Conclusion • The inspired record is clear…the “name of the Lord” gave meaning to 1st century gospel preaching • The same continues to be presented even today…the same name is “invoked” • Will you submit, yield to it for salvation?
