Calling

‘And it shall be that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord Jesus] shall be saved (rescued spiritually).’

and here [in Damascus] he has authority from the high priests to put in chains all who call on Your name [confessing You as Savior].”

Now, why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins by calling on His name [for salvation].’

“And it shall come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Will be saved [from the coming judgment]
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who escape,
As the Lord has said,
Even among the remnant [of survivors] whom the Lord calls.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile; for the same Lord is Lord over all [of us], and [He is] abounding in riches (blessings) for all who call on Him [in faith and prayer].

To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified (set apart, made holy) in Christ Jesus, who are selected and called as saints (God’s people), together with all those who in every place call on and honor the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

Lord

Into Your hand I commit my spirit;

You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness.

And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit!” Having said this, He breathed His last.

There is a [good] future for the man of peace [because a life of honor blesses one’s descendants].

Again the Jews picked up stones to stone Him.
