In the Old Testament, forgiveness was often associated with sacrificial offerings, as seen in Leviticus. However, the New Testament reveals that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is the ultimate atonement for sin. <a href="/hebrews/9-22.htm">Hebrews 9:22</a> states, "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness," highlighting the necessity of Christ's sacrifice for the remission of sins.through His name.

In biblical times, a name represented a person's character and essence. <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a> speaks of God exalting Jesus and giving Him "the name that is above every name." The invocation of Jesus' name in prayer and baptism signifies the believer's identification with His death and resurrection. <a href="/acts/4-12.htm">Acts 4:12</a> reinforces this by declaring, "there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/peter.htm">Peter</a> The apostle who is speaking in this passage.
