“Her Sin Has Been Paid For”

 The Doctrine of Salvation 

Salvation means deliverance from danger, distress, destruction, or harm. This concept incorporates being saved, rescued, preserved, and even victorious. Throughout the Bible, especially the Old Testament, the word “salvation” often depicts deliverance from physical danger. For example, God brought Israel from slavery in Egypt and Judah from exile in Babylon. Ultimately, the Bible’s examples of physical deliverance point to humanity’s greater need for spiritual rescue. Salvation, in the spiritual sense, refers to deliverance from sin’s penalty, power, and presence.

Bowing Humbly Before Our God Most High

 The Doctrine of God the Father 

The opportunity to gaze into Isaiah’s encounter with the living God offers us a profound privilege. We love thinking about God’s nearness and the intimate relationship we enjoy with Him. He is Immanuel – the God who came near to us. He remains actively present in our everyday lives. When we pray in Jesus’ name, God listens and acts on our behalf. As God’s beloved children, He inclines His heart and ear to us with lavish compassion and grace.
