Should we say, "perhaps you should try Jesus as you savior" ...almost
with a consumer market oriented mentality"?. "There are lots of
religious options and if you try this particular religious option you
might like it." No ... rather, Jesus is Lord and He will soon be
invading with His armies. He is offering pardon in advance of His
invasion and should you receive the pardon and ally yourself with Him
now before He invades, when He comes you will be considered His ally
and He will raise you to Kingship. The alternative is to be under the
wrath of the king. It is not some kind of religious option. It is an
announcement that a new king is on the throne and he'll be invading.
The gospel is not an invitation to an array of a buffet style choices,
it is a command. Will you heed the command? Jesus is Lord, repent and
believe.” - William Wilder

The boldness with which Peter and John spoke....
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.
[Acts 4:12-14]
