There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” – Acts 4:12(NLT)
ONLY JESUS SAVES
A poem and essay by ILMA
There is no other name that can save
Only Jesus Christ has this power to redeem
He is the only one who can take your place
He died for us all so we can be free from sin.
God has given no other name such power
It is above all and makes evil cower
Trust only in the One who can save you
He can transform you and make you new.

The Bible tells us that there is only one God in all existence (Isaiah 43:10; 44:6,8). However, it also mentions “other gods.” For example there is Adrammelech and Anammelech (2 Kings 17:31), Asherah (1 Kings 18:19), Baal (Judges 3:7), Chemosh (Num. 21:29), Dagon (1 Sam. 5:2), Molech (Lev. 18:21; 20:2-5), etc. The Bible is not contradicting itself. When the Bible speaks of other gods it is speaking of false gods that have no true existence. Gal. 4:8 says, “Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.” See also, Isaiah 37:19 and Jeremiah 2:11. God tells us that he alone is the true God and that all of the invented gods of man do not exist except in their own minds. It also says that only Jesus can save.
