Forgiveness for ALL - Joy in the God of My Salvation

Forgiveness

Forgiveness for ALL - Joy in the God of My Salvation

I found the above picture online, it is New York City in 1956.  Wow!!!  Three crosses lit up on the city skyline for ALL to see!!!  Far cry from what we have going on today in 2024 - instead of being focused on Jesus and on our salvation that only God could provide through His Son's sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the dead.  Instead, today the world's focus is on "gender", which, on the holiest day of the year is insulting and blasphemous.

I have to admit - I was feeling down about this deceived downturn of our society and when I opened my Bible my eyes landed on this Scripture passage below:


Forgiveness2

No matter what difficult and desperate situation we might find ourselves in, rejoicing in the Lord is always the answer!

It sometimes helps to go back to basics and look at the definition.  What does "salvation" actually mean?

Salvation - preservation or deliverance from destruction or evil.
- deliverance from the power or penalty of sin.

We have been spared from eternal damnation through Jesus Christ!  In John 3:16 we know that it is God the Father who sent Jesus to save us ALL!!

That means that we all should "joy in the God of our salvation" every second of every day!

Below are previous posts detailing everything that we should be utterly joyous about today.  
Starting with three of my posts from the "Tree series" since the Habakkuk passage above talks about "Fig, Fruit & Olive" trees
