For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
-John 3:16-17 (KJV)
The past few days, we've been looking at God as: Our Foundation (rock) and then as our Safety (fortress). Today, I want to look at God as our Deliverer. All this has come through Psalm 18:2, "The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower."
Jesus said, in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." It is because of sin that are separated from God. It's because of sin that we perish. It's because of sin that, apart from Jesus, we will spend eternity in a place called Hell. Romans 3:23 says,"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" We are all guilty of sin. But, God provided a way of escape. Among the definitions for the word "deliver" is this, "to surrender to another; hand over."* That is exactly what God does, through the sacrifice of Jesus. He hands us over from death (because of sin) to life (through the sacrifice of Jesus). Isn't that awesome? Has God delivered you from your sin? Think About It.
