Rejoice ~ THE REDEEMING WORK OF CHRIST OUR SAVIOR!

The eternal purpose of the Lord in the salvation of sinners shall be fulfilled. “I bring near My righteousness; it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory” (Isaiah 46:13). Though the Lord’s chosen people are all unrighteous by nature (see Romans 3:10), God determined He would bring forth righteousness for them through the perfect life, sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection of Christ Who is “THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:6). Note that the everlasting rescue of sinners from sin, Satan and the curse of the law is said by Jehovah to be “My salvation.” Salvation is His to give or withhold, according to His sovereign will. “Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardeneth” (Romans 9:18). Pay attention also to the Lord’s pledge of the fulfillment of His decree of salvation: it “shall not tarry.” “Tarry” means to delay, to hinder, to fall behind.

From old eternity, the Lord ordained the salvation of a chosen multitude of sinners through THE REDEEMING WORK OF CHRIST OUR SAVIOR and there is no power that can hinder, delay or in any way prevent His decree from coming to pass. The multitude ordained to eternal life before the world began was redeemed and reconciled to God by the death of His Son. At the appointed time, each will be made wise unto salvation through the ministry of the Word of Truth driven home to the heart by the Spirit of grace. They will all be brought to repent of idolatry and dead works and enabled to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. The LORD said, “I will place salvation in Zion, for Israel My glory.” Christ Himself is the Salvation and the Savior of Zion and the promise of the Father is that He will give Him to this spiritual nation, true Israel. The Lord’s people shall be saved with an everlasting salvation and that rescue is in, through and by the blood and righteousness of Christ to “the praise of the glory of His grace!” God shall never be disappointed and His determination to save His people from their sins shall come to fruition.
