"My salvation will be forever"

Text: Isaiah 51:6

GOD’S SALVATION

The salvation that God had planned was something to be greatly treasured. Nobody else could come up with the promise of salvation that would last forever!

“Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
And look on the earth beneath.
For the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
The earth will grow old like a garment,
And those who dwell in it will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not be abolished.”
Isaiah 51:6
