Verses 10 and 12 use the word “name” to make the point that God has chosen the name of His Son as the path to salvation—the only path. Sin has created the need for salvation. God has created the way out of sin into salvation. That way is the name of His Son. No one can be saved from sin any other way. This truth was clearly understood by those who had brought Peter and John to trial in Acts 4—and they rejected it. They were commanded then to stop speaking about the name (vv. 17-18). Thanks be to God that they refused.
