Verse in Focus “Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.” (Psalm 62:1) Key Truth: Salvation Begins and Ends with God • God is not merely a helper in our rescue—He is the Author of it (Hebrews 12:2). • “Salvation belongs to the LORD.” (Jonah 2:9) • No human merit or ritual can add to what He has already provided (Ephesians 2:8–9). God’s Exclusive Role • Source: The initiative is entirely His—“I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.” (Isaiah 43:11) • Means: He accomplishes salvation through Christ—“There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) • Security: He preserves what He starts—“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” (Philippians 1:6) What “Comes From Him” Tells Us About His Character • Faithful Provider—He supplies what we could never earn. • Sovereign Redeemer—He rules history to bring about our deliverance. • Personal Savior—“My” salvation highlights an intimate relationship, not a distant transaction (Psalm 18:2). Comprehensive Salvation: Past, Present, Future 1. Past—Justification: We are declared righteous (Romans 5:1). 2. Present—Sanctification: He keeps shaping us (1 Thessalonians 5:23). 3. Future—Glorification: He will finalize our transformation (Romans 8:30). Practical Implications for Daily Life • Confidence—Resting in His finished work silences fear and doubt. • Humility—Acknowledging His sole authorship leaves no room for pride. • Worship—Gratitude flourishes when we grasp the magnitude of His gift. • Dependence—We run to Him first, not last, for every need (Psalm 46:1). • Witness—Pointing others to the only true source of rescue becomes natural (2 Corinthians 5:20). In Summary “My salvation comes from Him” proclaims that God alone conceives, secures, and completes our rescue. He is not an accessory to human effort; He is the sole Savior who invites us to trust, rest, and rejoice in His unfailing grace. |
