Source of Salvation
Source of Salvation
Hebrews 5:9 GNT
“When he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him,”
It is so essential for us to know what Jesus accomplished for us.
Hebrews 5:9 says the Jesus was made perfect which is a very derogatory term for Jesus, since He is the only perfect one, but what we fail to understand is that He became and carried our sin and died for us and after paying the price for our death, He rose again from the dead and was glorified. God gave Him a name above every other name.
It is not that Jesus’ death brings us salvation, but His death, His burial and His resurrection and Him being seated at the right hand of God – this is what brings us salvation, forgiveness and give us eternal hope.
What Jesus did with His death, burial and resurrection is that He eternally invested your security. For eternity you are His child and you belong to Him.
What do we need to do?
The Bible says ‘He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obeyHim’
The only thing that is left for us to do is to obey Him and follow His footsteps by studying who He is, by talking to Him, read His word, spend time with others who have had personal encounters with Him and you yourselves develop a personal relationship with Him. This is when you will be able to enjoy the salvation.
Obedience requires a lifestyle of following Jesus.
Are you ready to give your life in following Him?
Where ever you are or whatever point of life you are at, there is still hope for you and a great place for you to turn around and enjoy this salvation that God has prepared for you.
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
