What does the Bible say about name of jesus?

The Bible teaches that the name of Jesus reveals and proclaims the unique Savior whom God has exalted above every name, so that all who call on Him in faith are saved. Matthew 1:21 declares that Jesus saves His people from their sins, and Acts 4:12 says salvation is found in no one else. Philippians 2:9-11 foretells every knee bowing and every tongue confessing Jesus Christ as Lord. He is the promised Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace in Isaiah 9:6, and He alone is the way to the Father according to John 14:6. Believers therefore pray and serve in His name, trusting His authority and grace.
