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. “None other name”: This refers to the exclusivism of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. There are only two religious paths: the broad way of works salvation leading to eternal death, and the narrow way of faith in Jesus, leading to eternal life (Matt. 7:13-14; John 10:7-8; 14:6). Sadly the Sanhedrin and its followers were on the first path. The name of Jesus Christ is the center of contention (verse 7, 10, 12) and ever will be. Salvation for Jew and Gentile alike is exclusively through the name of Jesus Christ (John 14:6). The Lord Jesus Christ shed His blood on Calvary to save us from sin and death. Christianity is really the only religion which promises eternal life after death; and hell after death, if we reject so great salvation. The religions of the world (other than Christianity) center around mans life on the earth. The difference in most religions and Christianity is that Christians worship the Creator of all the earth. Most other religions worship the created things of the earth and heavens. Jesus is the Judge of all the world and we will stand or fall by whether we are His or not. He is our great Shepherd and on judgment day, if we are His sheep, we will live eternally in heaven with Him. If we are not His sheep, we will go the way of the goats to eternal damnation. You may read about this in Matthew chapter 25 from verse 32 on.
