SALVATION IS OF THE LORD!
“My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.”
-PSALM
13:5 [KJV]
This
is the message of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, salvation is
of the Lord, His doing, His faithfulness and His sacrifice; therefore
His people do rejoice in Him at all times (PHILIPPIANS
3:7-9; II
TIMOTHY
1:9).
1). He is the Author of it, before there was a sinner there was a Saviour; before Adam fell in sin; Christ stood as the everlasting Surety, Saviour and Sacrifice for all our sin (HEBREWS 7:22; 13:20; I JOHN 1:7; REVELATION 13:8).
2). He is the Accomplisher of our salvation, He bought us with His own blood (ACTS 20:28; HEBREWS 1:3); freely justifies us by His grace (ROMANS 3:24) and gives us a perfect justifying righteousness through His faithfulness (ROMANS 4:6-8; GALATIANS 2:16).
3). He is the Applier of salvation, He will have mercy on whom He will (MATTHEW 11:25; ROMANS 9:13-16; PHILIPPIANS 1:6).
4). He is the Administer of salvation, we are kept by His will and power, none can perish for whom Christ died (JOHN 6:37-39; 10:27-30; 17:2; I PETER 1:5).
5). He is the Advocate of salvation; He ever lives to make intercession for us. Christ does not plead our merit before God but rather His just mercy based upon His merit (ROMANS 8:28-35; I TIMOTHY 2:5; I JOHN 2:1-2). That is the only way God can be just and justify the ungodly (ROMANS 3:26; ISAIAH 45:22). Thanks be unto God for such a Saviour and salvation as we have in Christ Jesus right now. “In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (EPHESIANS 1:7).

Salvation is not only all of His love, grace and mercy but also ALL IN CHRIST, TO HIS HONOR AND GLORY (I CORINTHIANS 1:30-31; COLOSSIANS 2:9-10 & 3:11; GALATIANS 6:14).
