The Only “Deliverer” (The-Only series: 2 of 14)

Returning to the God Who Alone Is Worthy of Praise

“Yet there is not by anyone else deliverance, for there is not even another nature which having been offered under Heaven with individuals within which it is necessary ourselves to have been delivered.”
— Acts 4:12 (2020 New Testament)

We live in a world overflowing with solutions.
Need healing? There’s a program.
Need peace? There’s a podcast.
Need success? There’s a step-by-step system for that.
Our culture is saturated with self-help tools, wellness strategies, and “savior substitutes.”

But none of them—no matter how well-intentioned—can save your soul.

At the heart of every human is a longing for redemption: to be made whole, to be known and forgiven, to be rescued from sin and shame. And while the world offers hundreds of pathways and ideologies, the Gospel is clear: there is Only One Savior, One Redeemer, One Deliverer, One Messiah. His name is Jesus.

He’s not one of many. He’s not just the best option. He is the Only Way.

Devotional Insight

This declaration was made by Peter in the face of religious leaders who wanted to silence the name of Jesus. He didn’t shrink back. He didn’t water it down. He spoke the truth boldly: no one else can save.

Not religion. Not effort. Not knowledge.
Not your background, your performance, or your pain.

Only Jesus.

And this deliverance isn’t abstract—it’s deeply personal. He stepped into our brokenness. He bore our sin. He died our death. And He rose in victory. That is not something anyone else has done or can ever do. The cross was not symbolic—it was sacrificial. It was complete.

The world may offer comfort, inspiration, or even imitation. But only Jesus the Messiah offers rescue.

Reflection Question

Where in your life have you looked to something or someone else to save, fix, or validate you?
Have you truly received Jesus not just as a savior, but as your only Savior?

Dear Jesus, You alone can save. You are not one of many—you are the Only One who gave Your life for me. Forgive me for trusting in lesser things to rescue what only You can redeem. I surrender every part of me to Your saving grace. Be my Savior. Be my Lord. Be my Only. Amen.
