"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

"Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that Thou bearest unto Thy people: O visit me with Thy salvation." -Psalm 106:4 [KJV]   How is a man brought and taught to want to be "visited with" God's salvation? He must know something first of condemnation. Salvation only suits the condemned. "The Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost ; " and therefore salvation only suits the lost. A man must be lost— utterly lost—before he can prize God's salvation. And how is he lost? By losing all his religion, losing all his righteousness, losing all his strength, losing all his confidence, losing all his hopes, losing all that is of the flesh; losing it by its being taken from him, and stripped away by the hand of God.    A man who is brought into this state of utter beggary and complete bankruptcy—to be nothing, to have nothing, to know nothing—he is the man, who in the midnight watches, in his lonely hours, by his fireside, and at t...

 Praise the God of all creation,  Praise the Father’s boundless love;  Praise the Lamb, our expiation,  Priest and King enthroned above;  Praise the Fountain of salvation,  Him by whom our spirits live;  Undivided adoration  To the ONE JEHOVAH give!    For Thy free electing favor,  Thee, O Father, we adore!  Jesus, our redeeming Saviour,  Thee we worship evermore!  Praise the God of our salvation,  Hosts on high His love proclaim;  Heav’n and earth and all creation,  Laud and magnify His name. -old Gospel hymn, "Come Thou Fount"   -------0-------    Proverbs 8:33-35   The Lord Jesus Christ Himself and the Gospel truth of salvation by God’s grace in Him, the very righteousness of God, is the embodiment of God’s wisdom for all His true children. So, He tells us to “Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting ...

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” -Malachi 3:6 [KJV]  These words are sweet comfort to the Lord’s people who live in this changing world. To keep us from getting too comfortable in ourselves and our situations, our wise God “stirs the nest.” “As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him” (Deuteronomy 32:11.12) .  Like the eagle, who stirs the nest of her young ones removing some of the soft feathered outer lining to expose the sharper sticks below, the Lord does changes things so that we remember that we can only trust HIM. He rearranges our comfortable little “nests.” All human comfort and confidence fails. He brings us into situations and circumstances in which we are made to know that He alone is our Strength and our Salvation. Like the eaglet out of the comfortable nest and ...

Hebrews ch. 10 / Explained: Why Jesus’ Sacrifice Was Once For All -preacher Henry T. Mahan (39 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V62pKFMqHg In this deep and eye-opening sermon, we explore: Why Old Testament sacrifices could never take away sin The difference between the ceremonial law and moral law How Jesus fulfilled what the law could never accomplish What it truly means to be sanctified, forgiven, and made righteous Why believers can now boldly enter into the presence of God This message breaks down the gospel in a clear and uncompromising way—revealing that salvation is not by works, rituals, or religion, but by the finished work of Christ alone. 📖 Key Scripture: Hebrews Chapter 10 If you’ve ever wondered: “Am I really forgiven?” “Do I still need to earn salvation?” “What did Jesus actually accomplish on the cross?” This sermon will give you clarity and confidence in your faith.  

       In the Scripture, the term justification means “to declare or pronounce one to be righteous or holy before God.” We see this in Acts 13:38.39, where the apostle Paul declared the Gospel to the Jews – “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man (Christ the Lord) is preached (declared) unto you the forgiveness of sins.” In other words, Paul told them that the only way of salvation was through the WORK OF CHRIST ALONE . Notice verse 39 – “And by Him (by His power) all that believe (literally, are persuaded) are (not will be, but are already) justified (declared legally righteous according to God’s Law and Justice) from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses .”   From the last part of this verse we see that justification cannot be obtained by our personal obedience to the law. Therefore, the hope or cause of justification (being declared legally righteous and holy before God) cannot be p...

Only Two by DG Miles McKee     It is estimated that there are around 10,000 religions in the world, but the truth is there are only two. The first category of religion is comprised of those who demand performance (on the adherent’s part).  Salvation for them is a matter of doing one’s best or obeying a set of rules. For example … ‘Don’t eat this and don’t eat that.’ ‘Pray at this time.’ ’Take part in this ceremony or that sacrament’. ’Perform this or that good work’. This is the religion of ‘DO.’ It is by far the more popular of the two.  The other category of religion is really a non-religion. It is summarized by the word DONE.  Membership in this group comes about by receiving from God the gift of eternal life.  Since it is a gift, it is neither earned nor deserved.  According to Scripture, without Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5). That’s true, but the flip side is equally true … with Christ, there’s nothing we need to do! Jesus has...
