When Luke wrote Acts the pagans were still following many Gods. The Greek gods, Roman gods, and Egyptian gods were still a thing. From Zeus to Osirus, and every god in between, their everyday lives were run by many gods and you better please them all if you wanted a good time n the afterlife. Salvation under one name was very odd to many people.
Today isn’t so different than thousands of years ago. OK, maybe people aren’t following a sun god, moon god, god of water, earth, wind, and fire, or whatever, but what do we put in place of God. For some money, time, things, work, fame, or even other people can become idols in our lives. We can attempt to serve many gods. Even Christians can get caught up in things around us.
We each have to take a long look at our lives all of the time. Evaluating our motives with fine-tooth combs is essential. We must check in with God and ask Him to search us and show us where we need to let go of idols we are hanging onto so tightly.
Salvation is found only in Jesus. Three is no other name under heaven given to us by which we must be saved. Jesus is our savior.
I am so sorry for anything I have put between You and me, Lord. I know You are my one and only savior. ~amen
