Luke
1:77 KJV
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of
their sins,
Apostle John would later declare. 1 John 5:13
These things
have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that year
might know that ye have eternal life...
There is nothing greater in this world than this
knowledge. Gill says of the knowledge of salvation
".. the "knowledge" of this is not merely,
notional and speculative, but experimental, approbative, fiducial,
appropriating, sure, and certain; and is more excellent, than any other kind of
knowledge whatever... "
As the forerunner, John the Baptist first gave to men the
knowledge that there was such a salvation available. It was not a deliverance
from troubles in life but a spiritual salvation from sin that results in
eternal life.
It is our pleasure to carry on the mission of John the
Baptist in giving others the knowledge that salvation is available by the
remission of sin through Jesus Christ.
