Transfer Your Trust And Reliance To The Lord Jesus
Isa 45:22 "Look to Me, and be saved...
The pre-incarnate Lord Jesus is the one who is inviting people here to look to Him and find salvation. The word "look" in the Hebrew here means to turn. Imagine a person looking and facing someone else and then turns around to face another person. That's the idea here.
A lot of us have been relying on a lot of other things and persons for our salvation besides the Lord Jesus. We have been looking up to our own goodness, our own religiosity, our own efforts expecting to be saved by them.
The Lord is saying: "Turn to Me. Look unto Me. Turn away from trusting anything and anybody else. Transfer your trust and reliance to Me for salvation."
Faith is the instrumental cause of salvation, but faith isn't saving if its object is not on the Savior and what He did on the cross. The instrumental cause of salvation (faith) must set its sight on the efficient cause of salvation (the Savior).
Transfer your faith and reliance for salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ! If you do that, He promises that you will "be saved."
