20 But after he
had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph
son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is
conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She
will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he
will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21 (NIV)
9 That if you
confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For
it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your
mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As
the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For
there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all
and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for,
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans
10:9-13 (NIV)
13 And I will do whatever you ask in my
name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my
name, and I will do it. John 14:13-14 (NIV)
23 In that day you will no longer
ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask
in my name. 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and
you will receive, and your joy will be complete. 25 Though I have
been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this
kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day
you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your
behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me
and have believed that I came from God. John 16:23-27 (NIV)
21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved. Acts 2:21 (NIV)
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no
other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts
4:12 (NIV)
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of
the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have in
approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears
us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John
5:13-15 (NIV)
5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not
consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very
nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled
himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest
place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians
2:5-11 (NIV)

“Tomorrow’s history has already been written
– at the name of Jesus, every knee must bow.” Paul
Kauffman
“How
sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer’s ear!” John
Newton
“Immortal,
invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most
blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great
name we praise. Unresting, unhasting and
silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice
like mountains high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness
and love.” Walter C. Smith
“God is
wonderful in all his doings, his ways are past finding out; at the end we can
see best the wise and gracious steps he took with us: therefore, when things take such a wonderful
turn that we are quite at our wits’ end, and do not know which way to go, we
may believe the hand of the Lord is in it, and some good will come of it at
last. As we experience the name of
Christ to be wonderful at such times, we may well expect that he will show
himself to be our Counsellor and mighty God also. At first, everything may seem to be against
us, and go quite contrary; but at last, we see plainly that it was highly
needful that it should go contrary to our corrupt nature, and that thus it went
well; for though the ways of God are marvelous, yet they are glorious.” K. H. Von Bogatzky
“Instead of trying to comprehend
My Incarnation intellectually, learn from the example of the wise men. They
followed the leading of a spectacular star, then fell down in humble worship
when they found Me. Praise and worship
are the best responses to the wonder of My Being. Sing praises to My holy Name.
Gaze at Me in silent adoration. Look for a star of guidance in your own life,
and be willing to follow where I lead.” Sarah Young
“On Him then reckon, to Him look, on Him
depend: and be assured that if you walk
with Him, look to Him and expect help from Him, He will never fail you. An older brother, who has known the Lord for
forty-four years, who writes this, says for your encouragement that He has
never failed him. In the greatest
difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities,
He has never failed me; but because I was enabled by His grace to trust in Him,
He has always appeared for my help. I
delight in speaking well of His Name.” George
Mueller
“Jesus! The Name that
charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease.” Charles Wesley
“Living
for Jesus, a life that is true. Striving
to please Him in all that I do. Yielding
allegiance, glad hearted and free. This is
the pathway of blessing for me. Living
for Jesus Who died in my place, bearing on Calvary, my sin and disgrace. Such love constrains me, to answer His call,
follow His leading and give Him my all.
Living for Jesus, wherever I am.
Doing each duty in His holy name.
Willing to suffer affliction or loss.
Deeming each trial a part of my cross.
Living for Jesus, through earth’s little while, my dearest treasure, the
light of His smile. Seeking the lost
ones, He died to redeem. Bringing the
weary to find rest in Him.” Thomas
O. Chisholm
“I was regretting
the past and fearing the future. Suddenly the Lord was speaking, ‘My name
is I AM.’ He paused. I waited. He continued, ‘When you live
in the past with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not
there. My name is not I WAS. When you live in the future, with its
problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I
WILL BE. When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is I AM.’” Helen
Mallicoat
“He is near to the
broken, He is close to the weary of heart.
In His Name is a refuge, Safety for the weak and discarded. There is help for the hopeless, For the
wounded in need. In the presence of
Jesus, There is power unleashed. Call
upon the Name of the Lord, He’s our Defender, our Deliverer. A Shelter in the midst of the storm, Jesus,
our Savior, He is King over all the earth.
I will sing of my Redeemer, Testify to the touch of His hand, Lifted me
from disaster, Set my feet on a solid rock to stand. God is our Refuge, our Strength and
Salvation, A Mighty Fortress is the Lord Almighty. There is no equal, no power beside Him. Forever our Champion is the Lord our
God. Our Savior, He is King over all the
earth.” Lyrics to Defender (Call Upon
The Name Of The Lord)
