Salvation is one of the key words of the Bible. Its meaning is rich, and includes the whole idea of deliverance from sin and its blessings: redemption, healing, soundness, prosperity, protection, deliverance, abundant and eternal life, etc. The word encompasses God's saving work in Jesus Christ. Salvation is all of God in its conception, initiation, operation and implementation, (Romans 10:6-10). It was always in His heart to save men from their sins and " … to present them faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 24). If we know about the greatness of God's salvation then it is because the Holy Spirit has opened our eyes to appreciate this divine conception. "How shall we escape if we neglect SO great salvation … " (Hebrews 2:3). The writer of Hebrews use the word SO to convey the unspeakable sacrifice of God's love in providing an eternal salvation for undeserving men and women (John 3:16). He describes the cost of salvation when he says, " … we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone" (Hebrews 2:9). That tells the story of the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed in agony of soul, " … Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as My will, but as You will" (Matthew 26:39). There He accepted the dreaded cup of God's judgment upon sin. The very horror of drinking that cup caused Him to sweat great drops of blood; and yet He did not turn back, but went all the way to Calvary. As He hung on the cross, He did not swallow the contents of that awful cup in one act. Indeed, He sipped every drop, so that the ingredients of that cup of sin and judgment might be tasted to the very last ounce. His was a prolonged, agonizing, fearful but atoning death.
