Psalm 98:1–3: Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. The Lord has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations. He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
The psalmist invited his readers to sing to the Lord a new song because in His strength (right hand and arm are symbols of power) He has provided salvation and revealed His righteousness. God’s great salvation is possible because of His loyal love and faithfulness. 1
Living the Transformed Life
And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood. Revelation 5:9
- Celebrate His Salvation…because the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man has appeared. Titus 3:4
- Celebrate His Salvation…because according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5
- Celebrate His Salvation…because having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:6–7
Salvation! You did for me, what I could never do for myself.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son to save me from the wages of sin and death. Dear Jesus, I want to celebrate Your saving grace from sunrise to sunset.
