The Name of Jesus (Pt. 2)

"The Use of the Name"

Matthew 1:21-23 King

21  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall

save his people from their sins.

22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by

the prophet, saying,

23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call

his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is God with us.

Note: The deity of Jesus is the crux of Christianity; this is what the devil today is

challenging. If Jesus is not deity he is not Lord and if he is not lord he cannot

interact with our moral activities. If he is not lord, all built around his name must

be destroyed.

I. WHATS DOES THE NAME REQUIRE OF US or WHAT POWER DOES THIS NAME GIVES US

You can’t separate the name of Jesus from salvation; Acts 4:12 says there is no

other name given among men wherein we must be saved. It is through this name

that sinners approach God.

Not only are we saved by the name, but we are baptized into the name, and on the

basics of the name, we receive the gift of the holy spirit. But he also gives us the

use of his name in prayer

John 14:13-15

13  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be

glorified in the Son.

14  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 16:24

24  Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your

joy may be full.

Remember, we saw in Acts 3:1 that the cripple man healed in the name, men are

baptized in the name, and men pray in the name. In Act 16:18, we see Paul cast out

demons in that name.

Matthew 18:20

20  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst

of them.

What the church has lost over the years is the fact that when the early church came

together, they were taught they were meeting around the name of Jesus, it makes

us aware of who we are meeting and the power we have over demons.

Colossians 3:17

17  And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

We are taught to do everything in that name

1 Corinthians 6:11

11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are

justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

The name of Jesus has secured us all that we have beginning with our being

justified or made right or righteous in the name.

Hebrews 13:15

15  By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the

fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name

Listen its through the authority and power of the name of Jesus that we do what we

do, his name gives us permission.

James 5:14

14  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray

over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord

1 John 3:23

23  And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son

Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

(HIS COMMANDMENT WAS TO LOVE ON ANOTHER AND BELIEVE ON

THE NAME)
