What does it mean to be pleased with God's salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Being pleased with God's salvation means embracing His grace and the fullness of Christ's work for us.

To be pleased with God's salvation is to deeply appreciate the grace He extends through Christ. It signifies that one recognizes the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice and the completeness of His righteousness that is imputed to us. The sermon illustrates this plea by contrasting the response of Hiram, who deemed Solomon's gifts as worthless, with the believer who rejoices in the grace of God. Instead of viewing God's salvation as restrictive, a heart that is pleased understands it as liberating, ensuring that all we need has been fulfilled in Christ alone, thus bringing glory to God for His marvelous work.
