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

  " Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth." -Romans 8:33 [KJV] He against whom sin is committed, the Lawgiver, and the righteous Judge, justifies them from every charge; not by teaching them the way of justification, nor by infusing righteousness into them, or on account of any works of righteousness done by them, but by pronouncing them righteous through the imputation of the righteousness of His Son unto them: observe, that "God’s elect," as such, are the objects of justification; which proves the eternity of it; the speciality of it as belonging to particular persons, and the everlasting security and continuance of it. –preacher John Gill (1697 – 1771 A.D.)

  "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." -Romans 10:13 [KJV] The NAME OF THE LORD signifies the Lord Himself. His name reveals WHO He is, WHAT He has done, WHY He did it, and WHERE He is now! And none other NAME can save (Phil ippians 2:6-11) . Jehovah-jireh "The L ORD will provide" (Gen esis 22:13-14) . Jehovah-rapha "The L ORD that healeth" (Exo dus 15:26) . Jehovah-nissi "The L ORD our banner" (Exo dus 17:8-15) . Jehovah-shalom "The L ORD our peace" (Judges 6:24) . Jehovah-ra-ah "The L ORD my shepherd" (Psalm 23:1) . Jehovah-tsidkenu "The L ORD our righteousness" (Jer emiah 23:6) . Jehovah-shammah "The L ORD is present" (Ezek iel 48:35) . To call upon His name is to humble ourselves before Him, to recognize His majesty, to believe His promises, and to hope in His mercy. -preacher Henry T.

  "The secret of the L ORD is with them that fear H im; and H e will shew them H is covenant." -Psalm 25:14 [KJV] "The secret of the L ORD " (that is, present possession)  "is with them that fear H im; and H e will shew them" (that is, something future) " H is covenant." This shews, that while all the people of God, who fear His name, have the secret with them, that is, a measure of the secret, yet all the people of God have not the covenant revealed to them at the same time with the secret. The "secret" is in the present tense; the "shewing of the covenant" is in the future.   It is very sweet to see how the Holy Ghost has discriminated between these blessings. If, for instance, it had run thus, "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him, and he shews to them his covenant," some doubting, desponding child of God might say, "How can I be one of those that fear God? for it says, God shews to them...
