3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself (Exodus 19:3-4).
The pattern of God’s covenants with His people is unchanging. The unchanging pattern involves an action of God with a desired response of His people. So the people are to respond to God’s sovereign actions. One of God’s sovereign actions, in the form of a covenant, is the salvation of His people. God is therefore the author of salvation. God bares us on eagles’ wings; He literally carries us to His salvation. Salvation then is unmerited grace from God. He is gracious as our God, and we are fortunate as His people. Our response, as God's people, is obedience to His commands. The message of Gospel is timeless, unchanging, and is truly good news.
