Topic: Jesus Saves
Text: Acts 4:8-12
8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Key Verse: “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).
Message
Jesus saves, heals, and delivers from sin, sicknesses, and Satan. “And she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Jesus’ death on the cross brought redemption to humanity. Therefore, sinning youths should know that they can be saved today. “For he said, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Jesus can save the vilest of sinners! A woman caught in adultery, in the very act, got saved, and Zacchaeus, the chief among the publicans also got saved. Saul of Tarsus, who persecuted the early Church, was saved too. Any sinner that genuinely repents and turns to Jesus will be saved. Today, if you trust in Jesus, the Saviour, you will be saved.

Jesus is the only approved name for the salvation of humanity; His Father has freely declared Him as the propitiation for all sins. He is the sin Bearer!
Quote: Trust in Jesus
Challenge: Come to Jesus for your salvation today.
Prayer for today: Save me now, oh Lord.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
