Passage: Psalm 72:1-3

“…Thou hast given commandment to save me…”

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; 
for thou art my rock and my fortress

(PSALM 71:2-3)

Beloved, do you know when this commandment was accomplished? When our Lord Jesus Christ declared “It is finished,” He accomplished the Father’s commandment to save His people [JOHN 19:30].

Reader, do you know how is it that you may experience the peace that Christ accomplished in the fulfillment of this commandment? One word, “grace”

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (EPHESIANS 2:8-9). My sinner friend, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, of that you can be sure.

The WILL of His commandment is sure. Our Lord Jesus Christ is a sovereign successful saviour, “of all that the Father has given me I shall lose nothing!” Beloved, He is able to save us to the uttermost!

The WORD of His commandment is sure. Our Lord declares “Of His own will begat He us with the word of truth,” not with the word of fables—but with the word of truth. God declares “my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it SHALL not return unto me void, but it SHALL accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (ISAIAH 55:11)

The WORK of His commandment is sure. Our Lord declares the word of the commandment given to Him by His Father—“It is finished” (JOHN 19:30). Beloved, on that day he shall declare before our heavenly Father, that not even one of His sheep is lost. In the purpose and providence of God, He shall save them all. Indeed on that day He shall declare “…Behold I and the children which God hath given me” (HEBREWS 12:2)

“In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline Thine ear unto me, and save me. Be Thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; for Thou art my Rock and my Fortress” (PSALM 71:1-3). Amen!
