SALVATION ONLY IN JESUS by Pastor Scott Henry
“Nor is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name given under heaven among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). As far as earning your place in heaven, your “good” works count for nothing! They are, as Isaiah said, “Filthy rags!” (Isaiah 64:6)...
