From The Lord, We Receive Salvation.

God is ‘our salvation’. He is the ‘God of salvation’ (Psalm 68:19-20).

God’s salvation covers our past, present and future.

(a) You have been saved. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we have received the forgiveness of our sins (Romans 5:1).

(b) You are being saved. God is at work in our lives, making us the kind of people He wants us to be (Romans 5:3-5).

(c) You will be saved. We look forward to ‘sharing the glory of God’, being with the Lord forever (Romans 5:2, 9-10).

From beginning to end, salvation is the work of God. He has forgiven our sins. He is making us like Christ. He will lead us on to heaven.

Our God is great. His salvation is great. Let us ‘be joyful’. Let us worship the Lord ‘with joy’ (Psalm 68:3). Let us give all the glory to God - ‘Blessed be God!’(Psalm 68:35).
