 TOPIC: UPON MOUNT ZION
 TEXT: OBADIAH 1:17

 Welcome to a new day, you will not miss His grace to possess your possession today in the name of Jesus Christ.
 The above text shows that there shall be salvation Upon Mount Zion, that holy hill where God of all grace sets His anointed King (Ps. 2:6).
 Upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance for a remnant of Israel, upon the holy mountain they shall be saved, there shall be those that escape destruction.

 Christ said, Salvation is of the Jews (John 4:22). God wrought deliverances for the Jews, typical of our redemption by Christ. There, salvation shall be preached and prayed for. To the gospel-church those are added who shall be saved and for those who come in faith and hope to this Mount Zion deliverance shall be wrought from wrath and the curse, from sin, and death, and hell, while those who continue afar off shall be left to perish.
 Where there is salvation, there shall be sanctification in order to it. And there shall be holiness, to prepare and qualify the children of Zion for this deliverance, for wherever God designs glory he gives grace.

 Temporal deliverances are indeed wrought for us in mercy when there is holiness, when there is a disposition in us to receive them with love and gratitude to God, when we are sanctified.
 Holiness itself is a great deliverance, and an earnest of that eternal salvation which we look for.
 Thus, upon Mount Zion, in the gospel-seeking church, shall be holiness, for that is it which becomes God’s house for ever, and the great design of the gospel, and its grace, is to plant and promote holiness. There shall be the Holy Spirit, the holy ordinances, Jesus that is full of grace, and a select remnant of holy souls, in whom, and among whom, the God of all grace will delight to dwell. Where there is holiness there shall be deliverance.
 To be continued..
 Enjoy your day!
