I Will Take The Cup Of Salvation & Call Upon The Name Of The Lord

[Michael37]

The phrase “cup of salvation” appears in Psalm 116:13 in the Bible. Let’s explore its meaning:

In this verse, the psalmist declares, “I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord.” The context of this statement is one of gratitude and praise. Here are some key points:

1. Symbolic Reference: The “cup of salvation” is most likely a symbolic reference to the drink offering prescribed in Leviticus 23:13. During the yearly Feast of Firstfruits, the Israelites were instructed to offer a drink offering of about one quart of wine to God. This act expressed their gratitude for His salvation and continued provision in the Promised Land. The liquid offering was poured out on the altar, accompanied by other contributions from the land’s produce.

2. Thanksgiving and Worship: The psalmist lifts up the “cup of salvation” as an act of worship and thanksgiving. It represents God’s good gifts to humans, emphasizing His grace and salvation. Just as the Israelites offered drink offerings, the psalmist acknowledges God’s saving work in their life and vows to keep promises to the Lord in the presence of all His people.

3. Contrast with the “Cup of Wrath”: The concept of the “cup of salvation” contrasts with the “cup of wrath.” The latter represents God’s judgment of sin and His wrath reserved for the wicked. Jesus Christ, in His suffering and death on the cross, bore the weight of this cup of wrath (Matthew 26:39; Luke 22:42). The psalmist’s cup of salvation stands in opposition to this, signifying God’s mercy and deliverance.

In summary, the “cup of salvation” symbolizes gratitude, worship, and acknowledgment of God’s saving grace. It reminds us of His abundant blessings and the contrast between His salvation and judgment. [Copilot Search]

And Paul: Phil. 2:17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

For Paul it seems that service and martyrdom is a type of drink offering and a cup of salvation for the believer.

Jesus mentions a cup too:

Mat. 20:22-23 Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” 23He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

A cup of wrath from the god of this world attempting to, and temporarily succeeding in killing Him and His disciples. And us also spiritually perhaps, and for some, depending where in the world, it will be literally.

WORTHILY 

 

LUKE 22:19  and  HE  took the bread and gave thanks and brake it and gave unto them saying this is  MY  body which is given for you this do in remembrance of  ME

--22:20-- likewise also the cup after supper saying  ---this  CUP  is the new testament in  MY  blood  which is shed for you 

 

JOHN 6:54  whoso eateth  MY  flesh and drinketh  MY  blood hath eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day 

--6:55--  for  MY  flesh is meat indeed and  MY  blood is drink indeed

--6:56--  he that eateth  MY  flesh and drinketh  MY  blood dwelleth in  ME  and I in him

 

JOHN 6:68  THEN  SIMON  PETER  ANSWERED  HIM  LORD  TO  WHOM  SHALL  WE  GO  THOU  HAST  --- THE  WORDS  OF  ETERNAL  LIFE---

 

1  CORINTHIANS 11:24  and when  HE  had given thanks  HE  brake it and said ---take eat this is  MY  body which is broken for you this do in remembrance of  ME

--11:25--  after the same manner also  HE  took the cup when  HE  had supped saying ---this cup is the new testament in  MY  blood this do you as oft as you drink it in remembrance of  ME---

--11:26--  for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup --- you do show  THE  LORDS  death till  HE  come

--11:27--  wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of  THE  LORD  --UNWORTHILY--  shall be guilty of the body and blood of  THE  LORD

--11:28--  but let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup 

 

--11:29--  FOR  HE  THAT  EATETH  AND  DRINKETH  UNWORTHILY  EATETH  AND  DRINKETH  ---DAMNATION--- TO  HIMSELF  NOT  DISCERNING  THE  LORDS  BODY

 

2 THESSALONIANS 1:5  which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of  GOD  ---that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of  GOD---for which you also suffer 

PHILIPPIANS 1:29  for unto you it is given in the behalf of  CHRIST  not only to believe on  HIM  ---BUT  ALSO  TO  SUFFER  FOR  HIS  SAKE---

One cup of salvation and wrath...

Psalm 75:8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,

and the wine is red; it is full of mixture;

and He pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof,

all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

"there is a cup"

"it is full of mixture";

2 Co 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved,

let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,

perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

James 3:

10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing.

My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 

11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 

"He pours out of the same"

Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh...

1 Corinthians 10:

15 I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 

16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the

communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break,

is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 

17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body;

for we all partake of that one bread.

18 Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of

the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 

19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything,

or what is offered to idols is anything? 

20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice 

they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not

want you to have fellowship with demons. 

21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and 

the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s

table and of the table of demons. 

22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
