One Word...JESUS

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Rom 10:13)

With this one Word, you invoke not just a person, but your salvation.

With this one Word prayed with the heart of the thief and the humility of the tax collector, you draw Mercy into your very soul.

With this one Word, you enter into the presence of Him who has loved you to the end, and who knew from all eternity the day, the hour, the minute, and the second that you would call upon His name… and He would answer:

I AM… I AM is here.

To pray "Jesus" is to invoke him and to call him within us. His name is the only one that contains the presence it signifies. Jesus is the Risen One, and whoever invokes the name of Jesus is welcoming the Son of God who loved him and who gave himself up for him.

But if you say that you are too unworthy to invoke so grand a name upon your sinful lips, then I do not say I have any other words for you. For this Word, this Name, contains all you’ll ever need.

Rather, you should humble yourself before so great a God who has revealed to you in this late hour the one word which is the Key to opening the treasuries of Mercy and forgiveness.

Otherwise, you will remain with all those souls who are eternally separated from God because they refused to utter one word which could have saved them.

God Himself is listening… listening, and waiting.

There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. (James 4:8)

One word...Jesus.
