J.C. Philpot (You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)
“And they were shouting with a great roar: Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne, and from the Lamb!” Revelation 7:10
The sweetest song that Heaven ever proclaimed, the most blessed note that ever melted the soul, is salvation!
Saved FROM . . .
death and Hell;
the worm which never dies;
the fire which is never quenched;
the sulphurous flames of the bottomless pit;
the companionship of tormenting fiends and
all the foul wretches under which earth has groaned;
blaspheming God in unutterable woe;
an eternity of misery without end or hope!
Saved INTO . . .
Heaven;
the sight of Jesus as He is;
perfect holiness and happiness;
the blissful company of holy angels and glorified saints;
and all this during the countless ages of a blessed eternity!
What tongue of men or angels can describe the millionth part of what is contained in the word salvation?
“After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in Heaven shouting: Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!” Revelation 19:1

Something to ponder:
“Never have I been so sensible of how vain a creature man is, what a leaf driven by the wind, what dry stubble, what poor dust, a bubble, a shadow, a nothing, and more vain than nothing! And never have I been so sensible of what a vain and vile and helpless creature I am–and how much I need God’s help in everything.” Jonathan Edwards
