Salvation is a mystery that should prompt wonder and worship in the head, heart, and hands of God's elect people. Modern theology has reduced salvation to a man-made concept void of wonder and worship. The Church needs to rediscover the mystery of Salvation so as to revive its wonder and its worship. Today's text reveals three reasons behind the mystery of salvation---NOTE- Salvation is a mystery because the extent of salvation is NOT universal or inclusive. True salvation is limited and exclusive. Salvation extends ONLY to those who believe upon Christ in such a way as to personally receive Christ by grace through faith---NOTE- Salvation is a mystery because its effect is a new right rooted in a new relationship. Salvation produces a new authority to engage in a new association with the Triune God while living among those who have no right or relationship.--NOTE- Salvation is a mystery because it is exercised only through a new birth wrought through a new creation into spiritual life. Because this new life is purely spiritual, dependent upon a work of new creation known as regeneration, it can only be exercised by the will and work of a Sovereign Lord- Man could never work salvation if he would, nor would he work salvation if he could. Salvation is of the LORD- The saved should therefore WONDER and WORSHIP---
