SALVATION
Good Morning!!!
KEY WORDS IN THE BIBLE
SALVATION
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
September 10
The word salvation appears
more than 120 times in the Bible.
It was in constant use
among religious people of past generations,
and while it is not so often heard today,
the fact remains that
it is one of the most important words in the Bible
and among the least well understood.
The word salvation in the Bible means perfect health,
harmony, and freedom.
These things are the will of God for man—
for you personally;
and the Bible was written to tell us how to attain them.
We gain salvation by seeking God
and letting Him work through us.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation”
Psalm 27:1
“He only is my rock and my salvation”
Psalm 62:2
“He hath raised up a horn of salvation for us. . .”
Luke 1:69
“And all flesh shall see the salvation of God”
Luke 3:6
Such texts as these are typical of the Bible promises
concerning salvation:
Salvation comes to a few people gently and easily,
but the majority have to work out their salvation
with a certain amount of "fear and trembling"
for the time being.
The actual way in which it comes is not really important,
for come it will—when we seek it with our whole heart.
