Psalm 68:18 teaches that Christ's ascension highlights the victory He achieved for our salvation.
Psalm 68:18, which states, 'Thou hast ascended on high,' encapsulates the promised victory of Christ over all spiritual enemies. This psalm, while speaking to historical events, has profound implications for our understanding of salvation through Christ. His ascension signifies the completion of the redemptive work He accomplished during His earthly ministry, including His sacrificial death and resurrection. Just as this psalm celebrates God's historical deliveries, it also points forward to the ultimate deliverance achieved in Christ. Salvation is a comprehensive work that encompasses not only forgiveness of sins but also ongoing intercession and the daily benefits we receive as a result of His completed work. This assurance of salvation flows from understanding Christ's exalted position in heaven.
