CELEBRATING THE MOST DARING RESCUE OPERATION.

"Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present age, according to the will of our God and Father,to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen"  ( Galatians 1:3-5)

As we celebrate Christmas ( the birth of Christ) we must remember that it was for our rescue he came.

1. To rescue us from the hands of our enemies-Luke 1:74
  • Jesus provides freedom to all prisoners of the devil and his agents.
  • Jesus provides release to all that are oppressed of the devil.
  • Jesus grants recovery of sight for the spiritually blind.
2. To rescue us from the coming wrath of God -1Thessalonians 1:10
  • He makes us sons of God instead of enemies of God.
  • He moves us from the unrighteous left side of God to the righteous right side of God.
  • He brings us to the stand of righteousness before God on the day of judgement.
3. To rescue us from the present evil age. Galatians 1:4
  •  The age of compromise and extreme liberalism to the detriment of godliness.     
  •  The age of self-centedness, selfishness, disobedience,money loving rather than lovers of God.
  •  The age of perversion of proper standards of moral living.
Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the Lord is a strong tower,the righteous run into it and are safe."
You can run to Christ,the Lord, today for rescue and you will be safe.
