“The LORD has made known His
salvation; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations. He
has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel ; all the
ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God” (Psalm 98:2,3).
He has done great things:
- “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the
word of Christ. But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed
they have; ‘THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS
TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD [a quote from Psalm 19:4]’” (Romans 10:17,18).
- “Now to Him Who is able to establish you
according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but
now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the
commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading
to obedience of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the
glory forever. Amen” (Romans 16:25-27).
- “We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in
Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints; because of
the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the
word of truth, the gospel which has come to you, just as in all the world
also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been
doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace
of God in truth...and although you were formerly alienated and hostile in
mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly
body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless
and beyond reproach - if indeed you continue in the faith firmly
established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel
that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven”
(Colossians 1:3-6,21-23).
Commit yourself by faith unto
obedience (John 3:36; Romans 1:5; 16:26; Acts 6:7; 2 Thessalonians 1:8) in the
power of His Holy Spirit - praise Him with great praise for the Gospel song of
salvation He has sung (and keeps singing) over all the earth through His Church: “O sing to the
LORD a new song, for He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy
arm have gained the victory for Him...shout joyfully to the LORD, all the
earth; break forth and sing for joy and sing praises. Sing praises to the LORD
with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody. With trumpets and the
sound of the horn shout joyfully before the King, the LORD. Let the sea roar
and all it contains, the world and those who dwell in it. Let the rivers clap
their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy” (Psalm 98:1,4-8).
