Psalm 18:45
46 The LORD [Yahovah] liveth; [chay] and blessed [barak] be my
rock; [tsuwr] and let the God ['elohiym] of my salvation [yesha`] be
exalted. [ruwm] KJV-Interlinear
46 The
Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation, NASB
The living God, is
expressed here as opposed to all other gods that are not living.
God is the source of
life, who is life Himself, who breathed life into man, exhaling Gods breath and
man inhales life to become life.
The living God, Psa.
42:2, is the God of our life, Psa. 42:8.
God is further defined
and clarified as the rock, the place of safety, the place of security, the
place of promise and peace. God is the
solid foundation of life and of ones destiny forever.
Also, God is the God of
our salvation. All three descriptions
point to but one God, namely the Second Person of the Trinity who became man,
who is God, and the one and only God, the living God, as defined here. For the Messiah is a man, and the savior is
God, both persons existing in and are in fact one person, the God-man, the unique
person of the universe, Jesus Christ.
Mans salvation is from
and of God. The one and only living
God. The Messiah as defined everywhere
else in the Bible is a man. This making
both savior and messiah a single person who is both God and man.
He is the living God who
is eternal, and man who is the mediator between man and God.
He is the one who all
reject. He is the one which religions
detest. He is the one that philosophies
ignore.
And yet, one day, at the
end of human history, He is the one who all will eventually acknowledge.
