Source of Salvation

Source of Salvation…

Salvation is entirely God’s work. He breathes life into our dead souls and sustains our spiritual journey. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega. As Jonah declared, “Salvation is of the Lord.”

Salvation is of the Lord.  Jonah 2:9

Every aspect of our spiritual life originates from God. Our prayers, graces, and perseverance are all gifts from Him. We contribute nothing to our own salvation except our sin.

Every good deed is a result of God’s power working within us. When we overcome temptation, it is His strength that empowers us. A consecrated life is not our own doing, but Christ living through us.

Sanctification, separation from the world, and spiritual growth are all products of God’s Spirit and His loving discipline.

In God, we find everything we need, while in ourselves, we find only sin and weakness. He is our rock and our salvation. The Word of God nourishes us only because He makes it living bread. The manna from heaven is Christ Himself, whose body and blood sustain us.

Our strength comes from Him alone. Without Jesus, we can do nothing. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit apart from the vine, neither can we live apart from Him. Let us, like Jonah in the depths, affirm: “Salvation is of the Lord.”

Lord God, I stand before you in humble recognition of my complete dependence on you. I confess that my salvation, my spiritual growth, and every good thing in my life are gifts from your gracious hand. Forgive me for any illusion of self-sufficiency. Help me to constantly remember and live by the truth that Salvation is of the Lord. Fill me with your Holy Spirit, that I may live a life that reflects your glory. Strengthen me to abide in you, to feed on your Word, and to trust in your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The degree to which you see your need for God is the degree to which God can use you.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
