Lightning fast read meant to make you think…

10 Mistakes People Make with the Name of Jesus (plus 1 bonus):

1. Don’t realize those who have faith in Christ crucified for the forgiveness of sins are rescued from sin and death and kept for Heaven through His name (“The name of the Lord [Jesus] is a strongtower; the righteous runs into it and is safe”). (Proverbs 18:10)
2. Are ignorant of the fact that even the demons recognize the greatness of Christ’s name and are subject to it. (Mark 1:24; Acts 19:15)
3. Forget it is the Name above every name since Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world. (Philippians 2:9-11)
4. Have lost a holy reverence for it (“Hallowed / holy be Thy name”). (Matthew 6:9)
5. Don’t realize there is healing in Christ’s name. (Acts 3:6, 16; 4:10, 30)
6. Overlook that it is the only Name through which we are saved from Hell. (John 20:31; Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 6:11)
7. Overlook that it is the only Name through which prayer reaches the ears of God (In Jesus’ name. Amen). (Ephesians 5:20)
8. Are ignorant of the fact that miracles (versus false signs and wonders wrought via the devil) are only done in Jesus’ name. (Mark 9:39; Revelation 13:13-14)
9. Don’t realize it is the central theme and foundation of the Gospel (why then do some preachers rarely refer to Jesus?). (Acts 8:12)
10. Overlook that the saints of old were persecuted, beaten and died for Jesus Christ’s great Name. (Acts 5:40; 7:59-60; 15:26; 26:9; Hebrews 11:35b-38)

BONUS Use Jesus’ name in vain (Yes, using the acronym “OMG” is doing it plus preaching a false gospel is, too). (Exodus 20:7)
