Salvation is of the Lord
My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation –Psalm 13: 5.
This is the message of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, salvation is
of the Lord and His people do rejoice in Him (Phil. 3:7-9; 2 Tim. 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
(Heb. 7:22; 13:20 Rev. 13:8).
2). He is the Accomplisher of salvation, He bought us with His own blood
and righteousness (John 19:30; Acts 20:28; Heb. 1:3).
3). He is the Applier of salvation, He will have mercy on whom He will
(Rom. 9:13-16; Phil. 1:6).
4). He is the Administer of salvation, we are kept by His will and power
(John 6:37-39; 10:27-30; 17:2; 1 Peter 1:5).
5). He is the Advocate of salvation; He ever lives to make intercession
for us (Rom. 8:28-35; 1 Tim. 2:51 John 2:1-2).
