Is there  any other name by which we are to be saved

“He is the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.” (ACTS 4: 11-12)

Our Lord’s name—Jesus, means “Jahweh is salvation.” It is not like any other name, which we use to be recognized, but the true identity of Our Lord—Who is salvation. When we call Him by His name, not only do we invite Him to our prayer or lives, but also we invite Him “to be saved.” Many Saints used to write His name and call His name very often to be close to Him: “nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.”

“This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.” (Gospel Acclamation)
