What Makes Salvation Beautiful
The more broken you realize you are, the more you rejoice over God’s salvation.
Why is salvation so beautiful and worthy of rejoicing?
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;”
God completely changes you through salvation.
As ministry leaders you do not bring salvation to people so they can pray a prayer and get to heaven some day.
You proclaim salvation because it changes people right now.
You have to see ourselves as poor, broken, bound, shackled. Without recognizing your spiritual poverty, you will never recognize your spiritual salvation.
And you will never rejoice in your salvation and righteousness.
To not be spiritually poor means your righteousness is enough. And your righteousness is not worth celebrating.
I want to have my life all put together. Have all the answers. But I don’t really need God with this mindset to my need for him.
The more you realize we are broken, the more you rejoice in his salvation. And the more you proclaim his beauty and salvation to the world.
