Make Known His Salvation - Psalms 96-98

 Psalms 98:2 (ESV)

The LORD has made known his salvation;

he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

What a blessed truth this little verse in Psalm 98 states.   God has made known His salivation!   A God who can save, will save, does save and wants to save will first and foremost make know His salvation.   John the Baptist said it this way:

John 1:29 (ESV)

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

This was the purpose of the nation of Israel.  Note what Isaiah wrote:

Isaiah 49:5-6 (ESV)

And now the LORD says,

he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,

to bring Jacob back to him;

and that Israel might be gathered to him—

for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD,

and my God has become my strength—

he says:

“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant

to raise up the tribes of Jacob

and to bring back the preserved of Israel;

I will make you as a light for the nations,

that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

We, today, are to make known His salvation to others:

1 Chronicles 16:23-24 (ESV)

Sing to the LORD, all the earth!

Tell of his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations,

his marvelous works among all the peoples!

God makes known His salvation.  We are to make known His salvation.
