The Salvation of God brought to us by Christ, is permanent and eternal. You have been eternally rescued.
Good day People of God in Christ Jesus.
We give glory to God for the gift of another new day, we thank God for the privilege of life and for His unending mercy and grace upon us always. Praise God!
Isaiah Chapter 49 concluded…
From verses 6 to 7, we see a reiteration of what the Messiah came to do.
Let’s read…
Isaiah 49:6-7 TPT
who says: “Is it too small a thing for you, my servant, to restore greatness to Jacob’s tribes and the survivors of Israel? I will make you to be a light to the nations and to bring the light of my salvation to the ends of the earth!”
[7] Yahweh, Israel’s Kinsman-Redeemer and Holy One, says to the one who is deeply despised and repulsed by rulers and a slave to the ruling class: “Kings will see and stand up in respect; princes will bow down to honor the faithfulness of Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
Note: the servant mentioned in the above verse is no other person than Christ the Messiah, who came to restored both the Jews and the Gentiles (distant nations) back to God.
It’s like a factory reset back to Eden experience where we will have a one on one relationship with the Father. In other words, Christ came to qualify us for the Kingdom of God through our faith in Him.
That’s why Isaiah called Him the Light of God’s Salvation shining in the heart of men.
In versed 8 to 13, we read about God’s faithfulness in carrying out what He had promised to do right from the beginning. Let’s read…
Isaiah 49:8-13 TPT
Yahweh says: “When the time of showing you favor has come, I will answer your heart’s cry. I will help you in the day of salvation, for I have fixed my eyes on you. I have made you a covenant people to restore the land and to resettle families on forgotten inheritances.
[9] You will declare to prisoners, ‘You’re free!’ and to those in darkness, ‘Step out into the light!’ They will be like sheep that graze beside the roads and find pasture on the barren hillside.
[10] They will never be hungry or thirsty. Neither scorching sun nor desert wind will hurt them, for he, the Loving One, will guide them and lead them to restful, renewing streams of water.
[11] I will level all my mountains as a road for them and raise up my highways.
[12] Look! They will come from faraway lands- some from the north, some from the west, and some from the land of Sinim.”
[13] Sing for joy, you heavens! Shout, you earth, and rejoice with dancing, shouting, and glee! Burst into joyous songs, you mountains, for Yahweh has comforted his beloved people. He will show tenderness and compassion to his suffering ones.
Prophet Isaiah uses the remaining verses to describe the assurance of our Salvation which God perfected through the Messiah.
God assures us that the Salvation He gives is Permanent not temporary. This is reflected in the statement Isaiah made in verse 15-16.
Isaiah 49:15-16
[15]Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
[16]Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
God has engraved every believer in the palm of His hand. Note that what has been engraved cannot be wiped off. That’s why nobody can snatch us away from the Father. Our Salvation is eternal.
This Salvation package is so effective that even those who, through their own carelessness and fault, found themselves in satanic captivity, God says He would rescue them. Let’s read…
Isaiah 49:24-25
[24]Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
[25]But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
To be continued…Praise God.
