SALVATION

 Salvation, God fits In you.

Lyrics of Amazing Grace by John Newton
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found t'was blind but now I see.

“Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.” (Psalm 38:22 KJV)

Are we meant to know limits? Are we meant to know lack? Are we meant to feel ‘not yet’?

YES!

I know you didn’t want to hear that, but I’ll say it in a more palatable way. Jesus knew hunger. His feet hurt. He wanted a pillow and didn’t find one. Asked a stranger for a drink of water, at the same time sent his disciples into a gentile town to find some kosher food. He felt sadness and frustration. He wanted human emotional support and at times ran for the hills to have some peace. So the answer is still yes.
​
God in you has every plan to suffer and you’re in for the ride. That’s where the, ‘HELP ME’ comes from. Who is the helper? Jehovah my SALVATION. I know, it’s like God in you is crying out to God without to do what He should have known to do all along. Now that is confusing.

Let us walk through this. Your soul attached to God’s Spirit is bringing God events into a world being transformed by your experiencing both the trouble and the solution to that trouble. That event has a name, reconciliation. We’ll leave that for another study, but speak to it now as well. 

Reconciliation, prior to your agreeing with God that there is life in no other than Jesus Christ, His Son, is repentance from disobeying Father’s word, which is ‘LIVE.’

There is life in no other!

Once you’ve come to terms with this truth, you realize that you, as an individual, are playing a part in reconciling the world to God. You are becoming His way of bringing the universe back to Himself.
​
As John Newton penned in the song Amazing Grace, this grace, this SALVATION is where you come to see with both eyes at the same time. Knowing Jehovah saves is in fact the phrase ‘God is my salvation’. To declare God is my salvation is to declare the name Jesus. When you ask Jehovah to save you, you are calling out JESUS I’m in need of something _____________ (fill in the blank).

What do you need? Jesus fits in that blank, not the thing needed, but Jesus. God is saving you, right where you are. He is your SALVATION and help in need.
