Here we get another song of praise. This is a song for what will happen when the people live in the fullness of God's salvation.
When we live in doubt we live in fear, everything seems fragile, but when we live in faith we realise that we are completely secure in the Lord. His salvation is our protection. How does this work out? Well the blood of Jesus has secured forgiveness for all our sins. We are no longer under judgement, and we need to realise that the root cause of man's problems is sin and the judgement upon sin. Moreover, the cross has over come death, it has removed all curse from our lives.
This salvation is not exclusive, but is open to all who believe. In Acts 15 and in many of his letters Paul ardently defended the universality of salvation in Jesus. The sign of salvation is living by faith.
Those who trust in the Lord will be kept in perfect peace. Men are always looking for peace, only in Christ can we find it. Note that it says He will keep us in perfect peace. Many things will happen in our lives, circumstances will change. Our security does not come from finding a set of circumstances, but from finding the Lord.
