Mosiah 3:17
There shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent.
The name of Christ is the only name through which humankind can be saved, gain eternal life, the life that God and Christ live which is everlasting joy, peace, and happiness. Names are vital. If no one had a name to identify them, the world would be chaotic and dismal. Everybody would be confused and irritated. But when people are associated with a name to link that name to that person, communication is established. We know who is who and who does what. Of all names, the name of Christ is the one single name that stands out above all the rest. All good, all righteousness, all light, all joy point to the name of Christ, for in the name of Christ is found all meaningful things.
It is expedient that we become familiar with Christ and His atoning sacrifice. To know Him is to love Him, for charity always wins because charity is love.
Pray sincerely and meekly from the depths of your heart to develop this love and charity. “Pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ” (See Moroni 7:48). Sincere prayer brings an inward, spiritual vitality to life like nothing else will. Prayer fills us with zest and instills in us an attitude of goodwill toward the world, toward all humankind. The world is starving spiritually, for it is spiritually dead and needs revitalizing. Our prayers can rekindle more righteousness throughout the world and grow a spirit of repentance in the hearts of people anywhere. Our prayers are uttered in the NAME of Jesus Christ, the name through which salvation is earned.
And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.
