Wade's Weekly Word

In the previous blog, I listed Sixty-one Things that were True of Me and Every Other Person before Becoming a Christian! Following up, I want to list 75 of the several hundred things that are true of everyone that is saved.

Always keep in mind that salvation is God’s plan that has existed immutably and eternally in God’s mind. God designed the plan, determined the participants, and delineated the parameters of the people and circumstances in His plan. His plan included the greatest good for the greatest number for the greatest period of time, for the greatest glory of God!

The last book of the Bible confirms what we knew from the first book. Revelation 7:10, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Salvation belongs to God. According to the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Salvation is initiated by God's grace, achieved by God's power, offered on God's terms, accomplished by God's Son, made effectual by God’s Spirit, secured by God's promises, guaranteed by God's sovereignty.

We must reflect with an ever-enlarging understanding and experience of the reality that SALVATION IS FAR MORE THAN WE THOUGHT. It’s more than forgiveness for our sins so that we miss hell and make heaven when we die.

WOW! Talk about good news!!! The riches of salvation far surpass the ruin of our lostness! Our Father, through faith alone, by grace alone, in Christ alone, has got us covered.

There is NO FAILURE THAT CAN DEFEAT US! Romans 8:37, “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”

There is NO FAULT THAT CAN DEFILE US! Romans 8:34, “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and further-more is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”

There is NO FOE THAT CAN DESTROY US! Romans 8:35, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”

There is NO FEAR THAT NEED DISCOURAGE US – Romans 8:38-39: “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Truly ours is a Salvation that is Beyond Measure!
