Salvation exists in no one else The Greek word for "salvation" here is "sōtēria," which encompasses deliverance, preservation, and safety. In the context of Acts, it refers to the ultimate deliverance from sin and its consequences. The phrase "in no one else" underscores the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ. Historically, this was a radical claim in a polytheistic society where many gods were worshipped. The apostles boldly proclaimed that salvation is found solely in Jesus, challenging the prevailing religious norms and affirming the Christian belief in the uniqueness of Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity. for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved Given among men.--Better, that has been given. The words must be taken in the sense which Peter had learnt to attach to the thought of the Name as the symbol of personality and power. To those to whom it had been made known, and who had taken in all that it embodied, the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the one true source of deliverance and salvation. Speaking for himself and the rulers, Peter rightly says that it is the Name "whereby we must be saved." Where it is not so known, it rises to its higher significance as the symbol of a divine energy; and so we may rightly say that the heathen who obtain salvation are saved by the Name of the Lord of whom they have never heard.
