Salvation Is Of The Lord

“But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD” | Psalm 37: 39

We have all heard of putting the cart before the horse.

That summarizes man’s religion.

It inverts the divine order.

It makes forgiveness the end rather than the beginning of salvation.

“The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3: 2-3)

Man’s religion says you must believe before you can have life, rather than you believe because you live.

It says God will if you will, rather than God will and you shall.

It makes man the deciding factor rather than God.

Anything that has man as the deciding factor is doomed for failure.

Thank God, salvation is of the Lord!

Assurance Of Salvation

”And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” | Isaiah 25: 9

Every believer enjoys assurance of salvation.

Every believer also desires more assurance of salvation.

When you desire assurance remember this: assurance of salvation can only be found by looking to and resting in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Assurance is not found by looking at how many good works you have done.

Assurance is found by resting in Christ who has finished all of the work of salvation for His people.

Assurance is not found trying to see if you sin less than you used to, or less than someone else.

Assurance is found by trusting Christ who has put away all of the sin of all of His people by His one sacrifice for sin.

Assurance is not found by believing that you are saved.

Assurance is found by trusting Christ who is all of our salvation.
