Salvation Comes from the Lord

by Alistair Begg

Jonah 2:1–10
 (ID: 2172)

Languishing in the belly of the fish that had swallowed him, Jonah prayed. As Alistair Begg demonstrates, we can learn from Jonah’s example about this often misunderstood pillar of the Christian faith. Scripture explains that God is present everywhere and that communing with Him shapes and changes us. In Jonah’s case, prayer helped him realize that his watery ordeal was ultimately meant for his redemption.
