Saved in The LORD with an Everlasting Salvation



"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures" -I CORINTHIANS 15:3 [KJV]


The gospel is not just that Christ died. The gospel is how that He died for us according to God's eternal and immutable decree, "THE SCRIPTURES" (ACTS 2:23: REVELATION 13:8).

The scriptures declare that His death was appointed (GENESIS 3:15; 22:8; PSALM 22; PSALM 69; MATTHEW 16:21; GALATIANS 4:4).

The scriptures declare that His death was voluntary, He willingly laid down His life for us (ISAIAH 53:7; JOHN 10:17-18).

The scriptures declare that His death was substitutionary (ISAIAH 53:4-6; II CORINTHIANS 5:21; I PETER 3:18).

The scriptures declare that His death was to accomplish definite atonement for His people (ISAIAH 53:8; MATTHEW 1:21; JOHN 10:15; HEBREWS 2:17).

The scriptures declare that His death satisfied all the demands of God's holy Law (ISAIAH 42:21; 53:10-12; DANIEL 9:24).

The scriptures declare that His death was most effectual to put away all the sin of the covenant people (PSALM 103:12; ISAIAH 38;17; MICAH 7:18-20; HEBREWS 9:26; 10:17; I JOHN 1:7).

Every pledge of salvation has its accomplishment in the Lord Jesus Christ, "For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us" (II CORINTHIANS 1:21). All that God has promised concerning salvation in Christ is certain and sure, "And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform" (ROMANS 4:21).

John Gill said, "Every promise, type and prophecy recorded in the law, in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning His sufferings and death, had their fulfillment in Him; nothing was more clearly prefigured and foretold and nothing more punctually and fully answered."

Our Lord said, "But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?" "But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled" (MATTHEW 26:54,56), "IT IS FINISHED" (JOHN 19:30).

The apostle Paul said, "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of Christ" (GALATIANS 6:14). I say, Amen!

JESUS - Rock of Ages

Jesus remains the same in all ages. He is the One who is constant when everything and everyone else fails. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever; the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is our R ock [I SAMUEL 2:2 ] . In the Old Testament, in Exodus 33, Jesus is pictured as the Cleft Rock. In that chapter, verse 18 and following, Moses desired to see the glory of the Lord, but was told, "You cannot see My face; for there shall no man see My face and live.” And the Lord said, “There is a place by Me, and you shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by." Notice that as Moses stood upon the rock, the Lord hid him in the cleft. This wonderfully applies to us today! Believers are both standing on and hidden in Christ [COLOSSIANS 3:3 ] . We are both in and on the Rock. As life with its many bitter events presses upon us, ...

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...

GLORY ALONE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

" Lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me." -Judges 7:2 [KJV] Thus the Lord reasoned with Gideon. He knows what is in man. He sees the pride of the human heart: how prone we all are to boast in an arm of flesh. The Lord is jealous of His own glory. Gideon’s army of two and thirty thousand, is brought down to three hundred. By this handful of men, and no more, did Gideon gain the victory of the Midianites. The Lord’s wisdom in this was, “Lest Israel should vaunt themselves, and say, Mine own hand hath saved me.”   But I have not transcribed the text right. There are two little words of great import, which I have omitted. Mind then, O Christian— against Me. Now remember, whenever thou dost boast of thy power, thy free-will, thy human goodness, thy works, ditties, conditions, and performances in order to be saved, thou art then, as it were, two and thirty thousand strong. Thou vauntest thyself against the Lord . Thou art gloryi...
