Facets of Salvation #8—Worship

Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the Eternal; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Isaiah 25:9

Hallelujah! O God, seated on the heavenly throne, salvation comes from you and from the Lamb! As true worshipers we worship you, Father, spiritedly and truthfully, for you sought us for such worship. While we were enemies you reconciled us to yourself by the death of your Son. Much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. You saved us from the penalty of our sin. And now, by your Spirit, you are saving us from the power of the sin in us. Furthermore, you protect us by your power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. You have not turned away from doing good to us. Indeed, you installed the fear of you in our hearts, so we will not turn from you and the benefits you offer. Worthy are you, O Christ, for by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You make us royalty who will reign on the earth, and priests of our God who will mediate his grace to one another. By your authority as his Christ the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God will become complete. For our adversary, the Devil, our accuser, who accuses us day and night before our God, will be thrown down. Satan may be sifting us, but you are saving us; and greater are you in us than he who is in the world. Together we cry, “Hallelujah! Our God saves!”
