THE SALVATION OF GOD’S PEOPLE ACCOMPLISHED!
“Thou
wentest forth for the salvation of Thy people, even for salvation
with Thine anointed; Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the
wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.”
-HABAKKUK
3:13 [KJV]
Christ
Jesus did not leave heaven’s glory and come forth into this world
to make a down payment on the salvation of spiritually bankrupt
sinners. He did not come to do His part in salvation, leaving some
aspect of it to be accomplished by the helpless for whom He came. He
did not come to assist sinners in salvation; He did not come to
instruct the lost in the art of self-salvation or to teach the
spiritually diseased how to heal themselves. He did not come to put
all men in a savable position. He came to save those the Father gave
Him from every effect of sin by rendering to the law of God it’s
just demands, a perfect life and the satisfaction of infinite justice
by His death in their stead.
He
was raised again because He did in fact, “save His people
from their sins” [MATTHEW
1:21].
His was not an attempt to save mankind, but the accomplishment,
redemption and salvation of those given to Him in the election of
grace. The sins of His people were imputed to Him and His
righteousness has been imputed to us. He was punished for our guilt,
the demands of the law were upheld, infinite justice was satisfied
and the victorious Christ came forth from the grave and was exalted
to the highest heaven.
All
of His elect will be brought by the irresistible grace of His Spirit
to believe this glorious Savior and enjoy the reward of His
obedience, even an ever-lasting salvation. It is my delight to
proclaim unto you that the work of redemption, righteousness,
reconciliation and salvation has been accomplished by Christ. The
sinner’s faith in the Savior is not an addition to His work; it is
the result of that great work.
