Acts 4 Explained: No Other Name — Only Jesus Saves

B17L12 Can Jesus really be the ONLY way to salvation? Acts 4:12 makes a bold claim — and Peter's defense before Israel's rulers explains exactly why. ✝️ In this verse-by-verse study of Acts 3–4, we pick up where Peter is still addressing the nation of Israel shortly after Pentecost, firmly on Abrahamic covenant ground. Peter and John have been arrested by the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees — who were furious that they preached the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The Sadducees didn't believe in resurrection at all, making Peter's bold proclamation a direct challenge to their core doctrine. 📖 Key Topics Covered: • Acts 3 closing verses & transition into Acts 4 — what Peter's audience reveals • Why the Sadducees were most threatened by the resurrection message • Acts 4:11 — Christ as the Chief Cornerstone: the stone the builders rejected • Acts 4:12 — "No other name under heaven" — what this means for salvation today • Daniel 2 & Moses striking the rock — Christ as the Rock throughout all Scripture • Why the 12 apostles stayed in Jerusalem 7 years after Pentecost (Acts 8) • Peter & John's boldness before the council — "unlearned and ignorant men" • The significance of the healed man being over 40 years old & Israel's 40-year cycles 🔑 Acts 4:12 Bible study, no other name salvation explained, chief cornerstone Acts 4:11, Peter before the Sanhedrin, Sadducees resurrection doctrine, Acts 3 4 verse by verse, Abrahamic covenant Acts, Christ the rock Daniel 2, Israel rejection of Jesus, 12 apostles Jerusalem Acts 8.
