The Truth of God's Salvation
Psalm 69:13-29
But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me…


I. GOD'S SALVATION IS A GREAT REALITY. "The truth of Thy salvation." There is a substance in it; it is not a shadow, it is not a myth, it is not a mere type or figure of speech, it is a substantial thing, there is a truth in it: "The truth of Thy salvation."

1. View it in reference to the Lord himself. To God, His salvation is in the highest sense full of grace and truth. If I may venture to speak concerning Him of whom we can know nothing except as He reveals Himself, I may say that the truest and deepest thought of God is for the salvation of His people. This lies in the very centre of His heart; and the drift of His other thoughts and acts is all towards this point.

2. God's salvation is a great reality to ourselves, as well as to Him. That day when I saw Christ as my soul's salvation, the great sacrifice for sin was to my soul the most real thing I had ever seen.

II. WE HAVE PROVED IT TO BE SO —

1. By our experience of a new life.

2. By our sense of sonship.

3. By our ecstatic joy.

4. We have had Divine support in trouble.

5. God has wrought great deliverances for us.

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
