What does it mean that the Dayspring gives knowledge of salvation?
Answered in 1 source
It means that Christ, as the Dayspring, illuminates our understanding of how we are saved from sin through Him.
The sermon highlights that the role of the Dayspring is to provide knowledge of salvation, which is essential for those in darkness. This knowledge is not natural but is revealed by God through the Spirit. When the light of Christ enters a believer's heart, they receive a clearer understanding of their sins, the depth of their need, and how Christ fulfilled all righteousness in their stead. This transformative knowledge leads to a life lived in faith and gratitude, as one recognizes that salvation is a completed work of Christ, not achieved by human efforts. The light given by the Dayspring enables believers to see the truth of the Gospel and live accordingly.
