Subject: The God of Salvation |
Bible Note: "We are at best -- a company of poor, lost, and ruined sinners. We have no power to help ourselves -- nor will to apply unto another. But Jehovah has revealed Himself as 'The God of Salvation.' His wisdom drew the plan, being prompted by His love. And to eternal love and infinite wisdom -- we are indebted for that glorious scheme, which brings glory to God -- and salvation to man. "The Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.' God appeared in human nature -- to save His people from their sins. He labored, and suffered, and died, the just for the unjust -- to bring us to God with honor, and to Heaven with certainty. He was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.' He has made an infinite atonement; completely paid His people's debt; blotted out the handwriting that was against them; overcome the world; spoiled principalities and powers; opened the way into the holiest by His blood; procured the Holy Spirit to be the quickener, sanctifier, and teacher of His church; and ascended to Heaven, to plead their cause and silence their accusers! "The Holy Spirit comes in the name of Jesus, to honor His work by calling His people 'out of darkness into His marvelous light.' Under His quickening -- they live; by His teaching -- they become wise unto salvation; through His operations -- they are washed, sanctified, and justified." --James Smith (1863) |
