Why Your Salvation Is Secure | Amos 9.11–15

What does Amos 9:11–15 mean for Christians today?

And how does this Old Testament prophecy point us to Jesus Christ, the Church, and the security of our salvation?

In this sermon from Amos 9:11–15, we consider how God's promises to His people are fulfilled through Christ. 

Amos speaks of God restoring David's fallen tent, rebuilding what was ruined, and bringing His people into lasting security. The New Testament helps us understand these promises in light of Christ, His kingdom, and His Church.

Because Jesus is King, His Church is being built up—and will continue to grow. Because salvation rests on Christ rather than on us, those who have saving faith in Him have a secure salvation. Jesus promises that He will never drive His people away, that none of those given to Him will be lost, and that He will raise them up at the last day.

We also consider how Christians participate in the building up of Christ's Church by speaking about Him and faithfully proclaiming His Word. God uses His Word, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring people to faith and to build up His people.

Finally, Amos 9 speaks to God's work of restoring and building up believers themselves. Through the Church, the Word of His grace, and the work of the Holy Spirit, God conforms His people more and more to the likeness of Christ.

In this exposition of Amos 9:11–15, we will consider:
• Why the Christian's salvation is secure
• How Amos 9 is fulfilled in Christ and His Church
• Why the Church—not geopolitical Israel—is the present kingdom of God
• How Christ is building His Church
• How Christians can participate in that building through speaking of Christ
• How God builds believers up into the likeness of Christ
• How the Old Testament promises find their greater fulfillment in Jesus
