He SHALL

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb - Matthew 1:21

    The statement in the passage above is a declaration from the throne of God. There is nothing indefinite about the purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ in accomplishing and executing the salvation of God’s elect people. The salvation of those whom God loved from all eternity is certain and sure. Particular redemption is that great work of our Redeemer, that gives God all the glory from alpha to omega. Preachers may say a lot of good things concerning Jesus and God and heaven, but if they are not crystal clear on this truth they are God-Robbers.

    All for whom Christ died shall be saved with an everlasting salvation. Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end (Is 45:17). And that Israel spoken of is spiritual Israel—the chosen of God. If only one for whom Christ died will not be saved, then he failed, and no one has any hope. The truth of the efficacy of Christ’s atoning sacrifice is the Good News of the Gospel. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (1 Tm 1:15).

    Our hope as believers is in the Lord Jesus Christ. He came into the world and successfully worked out a righteousness for us, actually took our sin upon himself and was punished for it by death. Therefore having satisfied God’s justice in our place, he arose from the dead and is now making intercession for us as our Great High Priest. There is nothing that rejoices the hearts of the children of God more than knowing Christ was, and is, successful in all that he did and is doing. The result of his perfect work is the impartation of his divine nature and the imputation of his blessed righteousness to all those he came to save.

    The announcement was, he shall save his people. The proof is that he arose from the dead Having obtained eternal redemption for us.Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us (Heb 9:12).
