“Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and atone for our sins,
for your name’s sake!”
– Psalm 79:9
And He has!!! This ancient prayer was answered when God sent forth His eternal Son, the second person of the Godhead, Jesus the Christ, into this world. Jesus was born into this world, adding a human body and nature to His eternal divinity. He lived the perfect sin-free life we can’t and died as an innocent sacrifice to atone for all our sin past, present, and future.
Jesus died and rose from the dead, demonstrating that God accepted His sacrifice. Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is sufficient to cover the sins of everyone who believe in Him. His atoning work glorified God and delivered His followers from slavery to sin, divine wrath and righteous condemnation, death, and eternal damnation.
This ancient prayer was answered through Jesus Christ – have you committed your life to Him to receive that glorious salvation for yourself?
