Salvation is His -- and Yours!

"8Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah." (Psalm 3: 8)

When we understand that salvation comes from the LORD, and Salvation is our God, then we find blessings on us.

God was interested in saving us, even before anyone else was on the earth:

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Genesis 3: 15)

and then

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" (Ephesians 1: 4)

and

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." (Revelation 13: 8)

Also in Revelation, we read:

"And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb." (Revelation 7: 10)

Salvation is of the Lord, and Jesus our Savior is named the same:

"And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: " (Luke 1: 31-32)

With this Savior, through Salvation Himself, we receive all things:

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8: 32)

and then

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:" (Ephesians 1: 3)

and also

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," (1 Peter 1: 30

Salvation is of God, and God is for you. When we receive Salvation in Christ, we receive all blessings with Him, too!
