I suppose the most often given answer to that question is “Love.” He redeemed us because He loved us so. John 3:16 pretty much answers that question! “For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Yet Paul, in Ephesians 4:32, seems to reveal yet another reason for God’s Plan of Salvation. “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God FOR CHRIST’S SAKE hath forgiven you.” Here God forgave us, saved us, “for Jesus’ Sake!” God so loved His Son that He provided (at great Cost to His Son) eternal life to them who believe.

But then again (late last night) I found another Reason! Why did God save us? Psalm 106:8 informs … “He saved them for his name’s sake.”

Wow!

And my list may continue to grow.

But this much is obvious … our Salvation is not ONLY for our benefit. Not only to save me from Hell. Not only to bring me to Heaven. Not only to give me daily victory over evil!

Salvation, at its very Core, involves the Godhead too.

I am saved, for Jesus’ Sake!

I am saved, for God the Father’s Names’ Sake!

Point being, amid all these technicalities of doctrine … I have been washed in the Blood of Jesus!

I can commune with my Saviour daily.

I can (and do) experience “joy unspeakable!”

Looks like … all to the Glory of the ineffable Love of God!

Hallelujah!

Are YOU saved?

If not, you can be.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Quoting the Apostle Paul in Romans 10:9-10
