The Greatness of Salvation

From a Sermon by C.E. Matthews

 

Hebrews 2:3 - How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the

first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that

heard him;

Not only does this so great salvation keep us from Hell, This Salvation is

Great because it equips us to resist the Devil in this life.

The Devil is a powerful being. He is so mighty that he confronted Jesus

Christ and tempted Him in the wilderness; the Devil is so dishonest that he is

called the father of lies, so cunning that he deceives whole nations, so rich

and alluring that he offered Jesus the kingdoms of the world if He would fall

down and worship him.

We are warned of how dangerous the Devil is in 1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be

vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,

seeking whom he may devour:”

Make no mistake about it, the Devil is our adversary, our enemy whose goal

is to destroy our lives, marriages, churches and our country.

Yet when we possess this Great Salvation, we are told in James 4:7 - Submit

yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Thank God for the gift of this So Great Salvation.
