Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
~Galatians 1:4&5 NLT
The Lord Jesus Christ gave his life for our sins. Jesus didn't die for the fun of it. He didn't rise for the fun of it. He did it for a reason. He died as a way to pay for the sins of the world. He never sinned yet he died a sinner's death, in our place.
Its paramount for one to note the tenses used in the above scripture. God isn't about to rescue us nor is he in the process of rescuing us from this evil world. He has done it already. It is not a promise but a present hour reality for all Christians. When we believed in Jesus Christ, our identity was changed, we are in the world but not of the world. We have overcome the world.
I pray that we may appreciate all that Jesus's death has produced! We are informed that him dying was God's plan from long ago, and the reason for him dying for our sins was to rescue us from this evil world. We are rescued! This evil world has nothing on us!
