JESUS is the Name of God!
Anyone can pray to God. Anyone can talk about a Father in Heaven. Anyone can talk about the Good Lord. Anyone can speak of the Good Man upstairs and point to heaven. But mention the name of JESUS God in the flesh, JESUS Lord of lords, JESUS King of kings, JESUS The only Righteous One, JESUS The Savior of the World, JESUS The Prince of Peace, and watch so many people stumble over JESUS The Stumbling Stone. People choke on the word JESUS, for they are still focused on themselves. For, JESUS is His name, above all other names. Place faith in JESUS, the One that took away all your sins on the cross, not in your own idea of god or any false misconceptions of you thinking God is somehow pleased with your performance (as though you a hypocrite - an actor pretending you are good in your heart). For God knows your heart and is laid bare for Him to see. Only by faith in JESUS is a person declared righteous before GOD.
"What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. As it is written:"
“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.” Romans 9:30-33
JESUS is the Rock of my Salvation!
