ABUNDANT SALVATION
By: Robert A. Searles
They that abound in the salvation of God through Christ are the light
of the world. They bring the light of hope into a dark and dying world
which is filled with sin and darkness. The faithful become radiant as
stars.
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and
ever.” Daniel 12:3.
They who abound in salvation and faithfully serve the Lord out of
love and gratitude for him will receive a royal welcome in heaven.
“Then shall the king say unto them on the right hand, come ye blessed
of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world.” Math 25:34.
They who abound in salvation may be afflicted and have to suffer
trials and tribulations for a season, but our light afflictions add to
the final glory.
“For our light affliction which is but for a moment, worketh for us a
far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” 2 Cor 4:17
Our abundant salvation through Christ assures for us a triumphant entrance into heaven.
"For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:11
The precious blood of Christ which was spilled for us to give us our
abundant salvation, guarantees us a place near to the heart of God,
and we are given a place near the throne of God.
" And one of the elders answered, saying unto me,what are these which
are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him,
sir thou knowest. And he said to me, these are they which came out of
great tribulation and have washed their robes, and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb.” Rev 7: 13,14. “therefore are they before the
throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that
sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.” Rev 7:15 - -
