Did you know that just believing in Jesus and speaking His name is not evidence of a relationship with Him?
Demons know who Jesus is. Demons will call Jesus by name! Demons believe! (James 2:19, Luke 8:28, Acts 19:15).
Maybe why Jesus told His Disciples to rejoice not that spirits are subject unto them but rather rejoice that their names are written in heaven. (Luke 10:20).
There is so much more than believing "in" Jesus!
There is so much more than just speaking His name!
It is about "believing" Jesus!
It is about knowing Him and having a relationship with Him and Him knowing you!
If we truly "know" Jesus we are going to speak "about" Him and not just speak His name. We will speak about "who" Jesus is. We will speak about the Gospel message and the work of the cross. We will speak about Jesus coming in the flesh as the only begotten Son of God. That He came to lay His life down for sinners for the forgiveness of our sins. It is about Jesus and His death on the cross and His resurrection that made a Way for us to come to God (our Creator and Heavenly Father).
It is about us "hearing" His Word and being a "doer" of His Word. It is about us trusting Him, and what He says for us to do we will do. It is about us Glorifying Jesus (not man) and lifting "who" He is up! It is about us showing Him that we love Him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and showing His love to others.
The "name" of Jesus is powerful because the power comes from Jesus and who He is. It is Jesus "in" us being manifested from us by the evidence of the fruit of His Spirit in our lives.
