Description
In Revelation 7:10, the exuberant praise uttered by the redeemed in glory is: ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!’ Salvation is the overarching theme of the Bible, the jewel in the crown of the Christian faith, and the cause of praise and wonder in every Christian who has come to know its joy. The main message of the Bible could be said to be God’s salvation of His people through His promised Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ— the Lamb who was slain to procure the salvation of God’s people. The gospel of Christ is ‘… the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith’ (Romans 1:16). The gospel of Christ is ‘… the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation’ (Ephesians 1:13). These pages explore some of the facets of the many-sided diamond which is Christian salvation—the salvation which God, through Christ, freely bestows on the believer in His amazing grace.
