THERE'S SO MUCH MORE!!

1 Peter 2:2-3 Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness. (Nlt)

A full experience of salvation. Hmm. That implies it's possible to have an even greater experience, a more in depth understanding of the salvation God has given us, don't you think? He says to grow into it, you must crave it.  That's strong language!  (I do sometimes crave liquorice allsorts  but don't tell anyone.😊)

Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good.  The Psalmist and the Apostle Peter instruct us to go on from the 'taster' we've had, the experience we've had so far, and go on and taste more, dig deeper in the Word.  What have I been missing? There's More! Wow, doesn't that get your taste buds going spiritually? Hope so.

That word Salvation (Soteria) in the original language means so much more than forgiveness of sins and a home in heaven. It doesn't stop there, and He wants us to go on from there to understand more of what it does mean.  He says cry out for it!  Dig into the word.

Part of it's  meaning is deliverance on a daily, moment by moment basis, healing for every sickness and disease, rescue from lack, deliverance from danger in all forms, returning to a place of safety. That's powerful!

Whatever the enemy has stolen or destroyed, that is what Jesus came to be a Saviour to deliver us from as well as our forgiveness of sins and eternal salvation.  It's not either one thing or another they are all included in our salvation in Jesus - Yeshua our Saviour. Glory to His name.

God has made a covenant with us through the Lord Jesus, as our only Mediator, to be our Saviour, Deliverer, Healer, Provider, Protector, our Righteousness, I could go on....

Has the Holy Spirit inspired you to dig deeper into His Word and find out more of your covenant with Him, to find out more so you can grow in your salvation, to taste and see even more of the Lord's kindness, to crave it?  Let's not miss, or waste any of it, because it's bought and paid for with the precious blood of Jesus Himself.  

I hope I've stirred up a craving in you and I don't know about you but I want to grow more and more into a fuller experience of this amazing and wonderful salvation God has given us through the Lord Jesus. Praise His glorious name!
