OUR FATHER WHO GAINED SALVATION FOR US BY HIS OWN ARM Part 2

The book of Isaiah chapter 59 verse 7 says this;

Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood.

They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.

The Lord looked and saw the activities of men were unjust and wicked. We were unrestrained and actively pursued wickedness.

In every way, we sought to cultivate evil in our midst and there was no one who could intervene and so the Lord undertook to intervene himself and to achieve salvation.

He would be dressed in garments of vengeance and zeal to bring wrath to his enemies and retribution to his foes.

The Lord will come as the saviour to His people who repent as verse 20 says;

“The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,” declares the Lord.

This is when the Lord will make and eternal covenant with His people recorded in verse 21;

 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.

Amen.
