We cannot deny our sin nature, as the false teachers did and do. We all fall short, yet by Jesus tremendous sacrifice on the cross, we are cleansed and walk in the light. To all those, who put their trust and faith in Jesus. He alone grants us the pathway to life.

Our deliverance comes from the Lord! He does this in many ways, but he is the one who deserves all praise.

Father, we are incapable of doing these things on our own. Fill us in remembrance of how you have shown us great mercy, and fill us with your Holy Spirit, to give us your own eyes of compassion on those around us, as undeserving as we were. We deserve nothing, but you have given us life. Amen!

Just as God said, this is my son, in whom I am well pleased, he is also pleased in us, his sons and daughters. We are adopted sons/daughters and when we trusted in Jesus for salvation, there is no judgement for those in Christ. We have been perfected in love. Is this not Good News? Let’s shout it from the mountaintops. Jesus is alive, and he sent his Holy Spirit to live inside of us, to those who believe.

We are free from the curse of the law forever, to those who receive freely, the gift of grace by faith alone. Our works to earn salvation,will only bring stress & worry, because only Jesus was able to fulfill the law and set us FREE! Won’t you turn to him today? He is waiting.

Our needs are satisfied through the work of Jesus, and relationship he provides with the Father and Holy Spirit, to live abundantly, both now, and forever. How difficult it is, to see clearly, when we mistake wants with needs. It doesn’t mean that he might not bless us with some wants, but that is not the promse here.

This passage ends with the word Selah. I always just passed this by, in the past. The idea, is NOT to just keep on, in this case singing, but to pause, and contemplate. OUR GOD THRU JESUS, HAS DELIVERED US FROM THE BONDAGE OF SIN. NOT THRU ANYTHING WE CAN DO, BU THROUGH THE WORK OF JESUS. WE ARE FREE, INDEED. MAY WE LIVE AS THOUGH WE BELIEVE THIS PROMISE.
