Salvation belongeth
unto the Lord, and thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
Brethren:
Salvation can only
be attained through the blood of Christ Jesus. When we turn to Him by
the confessing of our sins and accepting His conditions as Redeemer
Messiah, we are then part of the family of God . (Read Romans 10:19;
1 John 1:19; 4:15). We are grafted into the Branch of righteousness.
(Read Romans 11:16-24). - Doktor Riktor Von Zhades - Devoted Servant
of Christ
“Two great truths
he here builds his confidence upon and fetches comfort from. That
salvation belongeth unto the Lord; he has power to save, be the
danger ever so great; it is his prerogative to save, when all other
helps and succours fail; it is his pleasure, it is his property, it
is his promise to those that are his, whose salvation is not of
themselves, but of the Lord. Therefore all that have the Lord for
their God, according to the tenour of the new covenant, are sure of
salvation; for he that is their God is the God of salvation.
That his blessing is
upon his people; he not only has power to save them, but he has
assured them of his kind and gracious intentions towards them. He
has, in his word, pronounced a blessing upon his people; and we are
bound to believe that that blessing does accordingly rest upon them,
though there be not the visible effects of it. Hence we may conclude
that God’s people, though they may lie under the reproaches and
censures of men, are surely blessed of him, who blesses indeed, and
therefore can command a blessing.
In singing this, and
praying it over, we must own the satisfaction we have had in
depending upon God and committing ourselves to him, and encourage
ourselves, and one another to continue still hoping and quietly
waiting for the salvation of the Lord.” - Matthew Henry -17th
Century Theologian
