What a charm there is in that word “saved”—saved from eternal death, saved from the dreadful consequences of sin, saved from the fiery wrath of God, saved from the present power of sin and the service of Satan.
But—saved for eternal life and blessedness, saved to enjoy the everlasting fruit of the death of Christ, saved for the glory of God, saved for the infinite delight of Christ, saved for a trophy of divine mercy, saved as a triumph of divine love, saved for the service of God in this dark world, saved to stand before God and the wide universe to the glory of His grace. We are saved by grace. Oh, the matchless grace of God as revealed in Jesus Christ!
