A Scripture and a Prayer: “God’s Will For Our Deliverance”

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

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank you for delivering us from the power of Satan, but also from the power of sin and death over our lives through Your sacrificial death upon the cross and resurrection from the dead. And what I love about this is not only that we are saved, and heaven bound, but even more, that this is the Father’s will for His creation, that is, for you and me. Your will is for our deliverance, and this was Your plan all along, even from the beginning when sin entered humanity’s DNA through Adam and Eve. And it has been you’re your desire from the beginning to deliver us even while we were yet sinners and thus Your enemy. Truly, there is no greater love than this. Therefore, thank you Lord Jesus for loving us and taking our place upon the cross and delivering us from the power of sin and death so that we can have eternal life with You. AMEN
