My Salvation

“God is my salvation” (Isaiah 12:2).

The expression “My salvation” appears many times in the Bible. One thing it shows is how personal our relationship is with God. It is, as we say, “one on one.” That is why we stress that salvation is individual, and that we must come as such to receive the blessings that God has for us on the basis of the work of His Son at Calvary.

Can you sing, like Moses and the Israelites on the banks of the Red Sea, “The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation” (Exodus 15:2)?

If you are not saved, I would urge you not to put if off. Then you can truly say, “The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation” (Psalm 118:14).

If you are saved, here are some further statements that I know will encourage you on this subject:

• “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1).

• “He only is my Rock and my salvation: He is my defense; I shall not be moved” (Psalm 62:6).

• “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation” (Habakkuk 3:18).
