He Will Save

April  8

He will save.

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee

is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy;

he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

Whom? the loss, the wretched, the unworthy.

Every applicant, for ”Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.” “Him that cometh  to me, I will in no wise cast out.”

How? –freely, without money and without price; fully, by His blood, power, and providence; eternally, all who flee to Him for refuge, all who build on Him for a pardon, peace, and life, shall be saved with an everlasting salvation, they shall not be ashamed nor confounded, world without end.

Why? -because it is His Father‘s will; because He delighted in mercy; because it will eternally glorify His name.

From what? -from sin, in its guilt, filth, and power; from the present evil world; from Satan; from the wrath of God; from every evil work; and from all the evil designs of men.

He has saved us by receiving grace for us and dying in our stead.

He does save us, by His presence, word, providence, and the renewing of the Holy Ghost.

He will see in every trouble, from every foe, even unto the end.

Look to Him then, and to Him alone, to deliver, direct, relieve, and preserve.

He says “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.”

Why should I doubt his love at last,

With anxious thoughts perplex’d!

Who saved me in the troubles past,

Will save me in the next.
