Saved by Grace Through Faith
Through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, these and all other blessings of the gospel become ours. Fear is lost, judgment is taken away, and instead of all that, we instantaneously become children of God.
Instantaneously we obtain the forgiveness of our sins, are made alive in Christ Jesus, and are “delivered from the powers of darkness, and translated into the kingdom of His dear Son.” But this is only obtained by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oh, glorious gospel that we should be called the sons of God! When we look inward, we see that we are utterly unworthy of such honor—we can indeed see we are anything but righteous. Yet we are called “righteous,” and are united to the Lord Jesus Christ, and partake by faith of His perfect righteousness.
Now, regarding these Israelites, it is here stated that “There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun.” There is no god like unto their God. They had the living God, while others had but dead idols.
