Isaiah/Part Two:             “Responding to Salvation”                           Isaiah 12:1-6

 

Five Responses to Salvation:

1.         Praise & Thanksgiving

•   Isaiah recognized his depravity: Isaiah 6:5-6
• He is a sinner: Isaiah 64:6
• Jesus is God: John 1:1

 

2.         Trust (Faith)

•  Remember they have been trusting in man: Isaiah 2:22

 

3.            Strength & Song

•  Those who can leap over the chasm of fear will discover that they have the Lord’s strength: Isaiah 40:31
• Song is the natural expression of the spirit, which is free: Ps 40:1-3

 

4.                  Joy

•  Joy is the inner transformation of the Saved: Acts 8:39
• Joy comes when salvation is experienced in full measure, like water drawn from an inexhaustible  well: John 4:13-14
•  What water is to the parched earth of the desert, God’s delivering presence is to the one oppressed by sin and bondage: John 4:15

 

5.            Proclamation

•  We cannot keep silent: Acts 4:18-20
• We can’t keep silent for three reasons:

             1)  God’s deeds: Grace is glorious!

                Isaiah understood that the redeemed would spread the good news: Isaiah 11:10
                The root is Jesus: John 12:32

           2)  God’s commands:  1 Cor. 9:16

           3)  God’s Presence: John 1:14
