Our readings in this series are from the book, Such a Great Salvation. Here is a brief excerpt from page 59:
“As believers, we understand that the end of our salvation—the ultimate reason why we have been saved—is that God may be glorified, that the riches of His wisdom, goodness, love, mercy, and power might be on display to the world through us, His people. God is glorified by those who are saved as they, receiving grace upon grace from Him, serve Him acceptably in every area of their lives. Our great salvation brings life, light, and newness to all our relationships, roles, and responsibilities, turning our world increasingly right-side up for Jesus.
“Saved by grace, led by grace, and strengthened by grace, we who are saved go into our appointed place in the Lord’s field to sow, cultivate, and harvest Kingdom seed, so that the rule of King Jesus may come on earth in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. We have received this unshakable Kingdom, and the power that goes with it, so that Jesus may rule and renew our souls, transform our lives, and fill our world with Himself, to the glory of God the Father.
“To emphasize: Salvation is not merely something we receive so that we may feel relieved, forgiven, assured, loved, and safe. Salvation is given to us so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, as He makes Himself known in every facet and place of our lives.”
