Our salvation does not depend on us. So let’s all take a moment to breathe a deep sigh of relief.
That doesn’t mean you won’t have doubts about your eternal status from time to time. Doubt is inevitable. Especially when it involves something that seems too good to be true. Doubt is a good thing when it causes you to shake your head in amazement and say, “Lord, I can’t believe how much you love me.” But when your doubt starts to put distance between you and God. God holds your salvation. Who could you trust more with it?
12 In that day you will say:
“I will praise you, Lord.
Although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away
and you have comforted me.
2 Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.”
3 With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.
4 In that day you will say:
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;
let this be known to all the world.
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion,
for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”
