STUDYING AND UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE – PART 446
Isaiah Chapter 52 concluded
A brief recap…
Israel sold themselves for nothing by following after other gods and in the process opened the door for enemies invasion which eventually led them into captivity.
Prophet Isaiah briefly provides a summary of the various trials that befell them as a result of their disobedience and rebellion:
During the era of Moses, Egypt held them in captivity.
Some generations after that, the Assyrians oppressed them.
Then in our current studies, we learnt about how the Babylonians took them away for nothing, and ruled cruelly over them.
To make matters worse, the enemies even had the intestinal fortitude to blaspheme against God.
What an utter disrespect to God’s name, which they did repeatedly.
Even the Israelites themselves concluded God had forsaken them.
In this Chapter, Prophets Isaiah provides them with the Good News that they would be rescued. Even though they sold themselves for nothing, nevertheless, God’s mercy would locate them and redeem them at no cost.
Isaiah 52:3
[3]For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
This was actually a prophecy for everyone on earth regarding God’s Salvation plan that even though we were all lost in sin, yet God’s mercy has found us in Christ Jesus and has given us redemption which can only be obtained through faith in Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:22-24
[22]Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
[23]For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
[24]Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Although this redemption was brought to us at no cost, however, it cost God so much – it cost Him a Life, the Life of His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ, the Messiah).
This is the Good News that we must consistently share with people.
This is what the entire Scripture anchors on. Any other gospel is fake.
To be continued…Praise God.
