Day 316..."Salvation as Habakkuk prays...Lamentations Laments and salvation is difficult to see...Paul offers grace for salvation"
Habakkuk prays a prayer as he continues to question God. In the end of this Book, Habakkuk..."The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet. And He will make me walk on the high hills." The Wesley NKJV study notes calls this Habakkuks profession of faith. Lamentations is in to lamenting... about Jerusalems outcome. Salvation is difficult to comprehend in exile. Yet... we keep reading as hope is coming!
Paul teaches about grace..."For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is gift of God , not of works, lest anyone should boast." John Wesley preached on this text more than any other and said..."By faith we are saved from sin and made holy." This passage is a key one in "getting salvation." What Jesus did on the cross is a gift that cannot be earned. A gift available to all...to you! To me! To the world! Good news for the sinner! Including you and me.
