What role does prayer have in the context of salvation being from the Lord?
Answered in 1 source
Prayer is a means through which God has ordained His people to seek Him for salvation and assurance.
In the context of salvation, prayer stands as an essential means by which believers communicate with God. The sermon emphasizes that 'The Lord will be inquired of by the house of Israel' (Ezekiel 36:37), indicating that God has chosen prayer as a means to involve His people in the process of salvation. While salvation originates from God, believers are called to respond in faith and supplication, asking for His mercy and grace. Prayer unlocks the means of grace in the life of a believer and signifies an acknowledgment of dependence on God for spiritual salvation and sustenance. It reflects the relationship between God and His people, where believers express their faith in His sovereign plan for their salvation.
