In the Old Testament, God is often referred to as The God of my Salvation. In the New Testament, we learn of God coming in the flesh as Yeshua, in Greek, Ieosous, or as we know His name in English, Jesus, the Savior of the world, the Son of God.

Putting Away the Doubt of Salvation
Many worry if they are really saved or not. They doubt that just believing is enough. John lets us know. Throughout the New Testament God’s Word tells us that we cannot earn our salvation but God through His love, sent Jesus to pay for our sins by dying on the cross. Not only that, but Christ was raised from the dead defeating death and sin. He paid the price. We are saved by grace through our faith by trusting that only through Jesus Christ are we saved.

With every prophesy, God always give a warning. But, He also gives a promise. He is a just God, but also a merciful God. God’s word always has a message, and although Micah may be speaking to Israel, all of us need to take note. What He teaches one people are words for all people. The words of more than 2000 years ago still apply today.
