The God of my Salvation



"The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted" (Psalm 18:46). Salvation means the entirety of that work of Jehovah whereby sinners are delivered from sin and all of its effects and raised to the heights of everlasting glory through the blood and righteousness of Christ. Here is the message of scripture: "Salvation is of the LORD" (Jonah 2:9).

1. God purposed salvation. "...Chosen unto salvation before the foundation of the world" (2 Thessalonians 2:13).

2. God provided salvation. "...God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering" (Genesis 22:8).

3. God possesses salvation, it is His to give. "Shew us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation" (Psalm 85:7).

4. God has the prerogative to grant salvation to whom He will. "...I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious" (Exodus 33:17).

5. God proclaims salvation. "Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, Thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him" (Isaiah 62:11).

6. God performs salvation. "Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation" (Isaiah 45:17). This salvation was wrought out by the obedience unto death of Christ who satisfied justice when He died in the stead of His chosen people. "Call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).

7. God preserves salvation. "...kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation" (1 Peter 1:5).

8. God perfects salvation. "He which hath begun a good work in you will perform (perfect) it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6).

9. God is praised for salvation. "Let such as love Thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified" (Psalm 40:16).

10. God’s salvation is a Person. "Mine eyes hath seen Thy salvation" (Luke 2:30).

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s

God ordained Authority: Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate

Image
The Lesser Magistrate Doctrine  teaches that when the superior or higher ranking civil authority makes unjust/immoral law, policy, or court opinion – the lower or lesser ranking civil authority has both the God-given right  and duty  to refuse obedience to that superior authority; and if necessary, actively resist the superior authority. The doctrine was first formalized by Christian men in Magdeburg, Germany in 1550.  The lesser magistrate doctrine is rooted in the historic Christian doctrine of interposition.  Interposition   is where one steps into the gap – placing themselves in between the oppressor and his intended victim. Interposition can take place verbally or physically.  The law of God is the objective standard to which all men and all governments of men are accountable. If civil authorities make law, policy, or court opinion that is contrary to His law – the lesser magistrates are to interpose and  stop the evil .  America’s founders established this nation as a true federa
