Isa:12:1
I will praise you Lord
Although you were angry with me
Your anger has turned away
And you have comforted me.
I was subject to God's wrath, because of my sin and rebellion. My future was eternal separation from God in the dark and fiery dungeons of hell. God was thoroughly angry with me because of my sin. His justice rightly would punish me. Because He being holy expected me to be holy. But out of my inherant nature and because of my choice I decided to walk away from Him. And He is right in doing that.
But God so loved me, that He sent His only Son for me, that if I believe in Him, I shall not perish, but have eternal life.
Though He was angry, He was so filled with love. Though He is a righteous judge, He is a loving Father as well. And therefore He bore it all on Himself. He suffered the punishment all on Himself in order to offer me the salvation. In order to save me.
He is my salvation.
He has become my salvation (v:2)
And therefore
With joy I will draw water from the wells of salvation (v:3)
John:4:14
But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
Salvation is offerred free. Anyone can take it. But it isn't cheap. He Himself had to shed the last drop of His blood in order to redeem me.
It is free. : Yet costly.
🙏
