We live in a world of ever-increasing passwords which are controlling our lives. Security demands them, but life would be much simpler if we did not have to have them… and we wouldn’t get so stressed… like when we forget them!

And another aspect is the fact that the password we use always has to be spot on, or we get error messages and access is denied. But on the other hand, it is a relief when the password we use is accepted. Suddenly, the screen before us is activated and we see the app or site immediately coming to life.

As we reflect on our Christian lives we may forget or not even realize that it was necessary to have ‘the correct password’ to begin our new life in Christ. The password is none other than our Saviour’s name… the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is the important part… we must confess personal faith in the Lord Jesus believing in our heart that God raised him from the dead. There is no escaping this ‘password’ for… “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” Acts 4:12 NIV.

But the ongoing benefit is to know that the principle of the Name of Jesus works 24/7 on our behalf. The power of that Name gives each Christian immediate and constant access into God’s presence, not just for fellowship, but authority to pray. God always knows that our spiritual ‘password’ is correct.

Should you be reading this blog and not be a Christian may I suggest that all you need do is USE this ‘password’ to find the dynamics of a new life in Christ.

I have just returned from a Motel stay where the Wi-Fi Password was simply the name of the motel… nothing else was necessary. To become a Christian, you need only use the name… so call on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
