In today’s world, people would judge the quality of a product and use it based on the strength of its brand name. Our God has his own “brand name” as it were. It’s the Name of Jesus!
The Name of Jesus has been given to us (Acts 4:12). Therefore learning to live in and function by the power of that Name is what guarantees the upward and forward life. Philippians 2:10 describes for us the efficacy of the power in the Name of Jesus.
The Bible also chronicles testimonies of healings and miracles done through the apostles, as they exercised the power of attorney to use the name of Jesus. “There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirit: and they were healed every one” (Acts 5:16).
Other names may have their limitations, weaknesses and restraints, but Jesus, “being made so much better than the angels, …hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” (Hebrews 1:4). The Name “Jesus” has been proven to be a fortifying wall of protection, which can be trusted and depended upon. His Name is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and is safe (Proverbs 18:10).
