Acts 4:12: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
At the onset, it must be asserted that this verse is certainly taken semi-out of context but that being said it is one of the clearest, boldest affirmations about the supremacy of Christ in the salvation of man. This is from Peter's sermon at Pentecost, in fact, it is the pinnacle point of his sermon.
Needless to say, there is more than a little theology in this assertion. But it can be boiled down to this: Jesus saves. Jesus alone saves. Only by His name, only by His grace, and only through faith in Him. In the end, we should never forget that salvation is found in Christ and Christ alone. And we should always take joy and hope in that truth.
