"The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1

The Psalmist not only refers to the LORD as 'my light' as we saw last week, but He is 'my' salvation. We have looked at Scripture concerning salvation in the past, let's look briefly again in connection with Psalm 27:1

In Simeon's prophecy of baby Jesus we see in Luke 2:30-32, "For my eyes have seen Your salvation Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel."

That is the light that was shown to all as we saw in John 1:9, "That was the true Light which gives light to every man who comes into the world."
Not all responded to the light. Some loved darkness because their deeds were evil. But there are those who saw their evil deeds, saw their poverty, were convicted by the Holy Spirit and turned to God, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not parish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Salvation is --
By God's grace:
"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved). Ephesians 2:4-5

By God's love:
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

By God's mercy:
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:5

By Christ alone:
"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12

By the Cross:
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18

There is a time aspect in our salvation--
Past:
"For by grace you have been saved..." Ephesians 2:8
Present:
1 Corinthians 1:18 above says, "...but to us who are being saved..."
Future:
"...To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation." Hebrew 9:28

There are some who think they could lose their salvation. What bondage!
Once again, John 3:16 assures us,
"For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." The Amplified Bible

We have the Holy Spirit's assurance,
"For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out 'Abba Father.' The Spirit Himself bears witness with out spirit that we are children of God."
Romans 8:15-16

We are saved, reconciled to God by faith in Christ Jesus and indwelt by the Holy Spirit. In all humility and with grateful hearts we give you, Oh Mighty God all honor, praise and glory.  Amen
