Topic: The Other Side Of The Coin
Text: Luke 1: 74- 75
74 We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness for as long as we live. Amen
The promises of God are forever true. His handiwork stands throughout the ages. Indeed, nothing in all creation can be compared to His greatness and power.
One of His excellent handiworks is our rescue from the hands of the enemy. How His mighty power reaches out to deliver us everyday from evil, is still very remarkable in our lives.
So what then do we do? What is the reason for our salvation and deliverance? The answer is simple; we are delivered “so we can serve God without fear, in holiness and righteousness for as long as we live.”
Beloved, this is the other side of the coin. Our commitment, devotion and decision to serve God in holiness is what makes the rescue mission complete.
Honestly, we cannot claim to have been delivered by God unless our lives, after that rescue mission, glorify Him. If not, then what else will be the evidence of our salvation? That we were delivered from the enemy, back into darkness? Certainly Not!
1 Peter 2: 9 says we are delivered to proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His wonderful light. So tell all who have been delivered from the parlour of the devil, especially those with a decision to walk with the Lord the rest of their lives, that it is time to STAND FOR HOLINESS!
Encourage them to understand that our righteousness is not of our own. The Holy Spirit leads us in the path of righteousness for His own name’s sake. He gives strength in our weaknesses and the desire to be more like Christ. He will live His righteousness through us if we let Him in.
We are children of the Light. We have a duty to shine before men, so they see our good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven. Meditate on this and begin to pray now. Kindly click, watch and be blessed: https://youtu.be/b2jMVJFMGuc
