SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE. Is Heaven our Destination
or our Destiny? Luke 1:74 thru 79. That he would grant unto us,
that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might
serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before
him, all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called
the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of
the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation
unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the
tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath
visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in
the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
The first question that we must ask is ,”What is SALVATION,
HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE ? Salvation; Preservation or
deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil. Deliverance
from the power or penalty of sin; redemption. HOLINESS; an
essential and distinguishing attribute of someone. The quality
of being sacred. Deliverance; recovery or preservation from loss
or danger. The act of delivering or the condition of being
delivered. Rescue from bondage or danger. A publicly expressed
opinion or judgment, the act of delivering from sin or saving
from evil, the act of regaining or saving someone lost (or in
danger of becoming lost), rescuing from error and returning to a
rightful course; “the reclamation of delinquent children.
SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE is many things in scripture.
Jesus always talked about us as the children of God. The
Apostile Paul also stated that we are little children in need od
these three things. To the Jews first and then to the gentiles.
We must remember that anyone who is not born a Jew are
automatically a gentile. That he [God] would grant unto us, that
we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies [The enemies
that Jesus is speaking of are the enemies of the soul and
spirit. The enemies of the flesh are always going to be there.]
might serve him without fear, [without fear knowing that we are
saved by grace thru faith, knowing that once saved and delivered
out of the hands of our mortal enemies, no one can take us out
of the hand of the liveing God.] In holiness and righteousness
[not of our own holiness or righteousness but of those things
that are of God.] before him, all the days of our life. The life
that Jesus speaks of here is the eternal life with Him in Glory.
#1.Salvation; Preservation or deliverance from destruction,
difficulty, or evil. Deliverance from the power or penalty of
sin; redemption. Deliverance from destruction, 1Co 5:5 To
deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh,
that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Salvation comes from the beliefe in the word, which is
delievered by the ministers of God. Salvation comes by the
hearing of the word. Many are hearing things that they do not
understand and it becomes a stumbling block to the unlearned. So
when many cannot or will not understand the word, they reject
the word with false doctrine. 2Co 10:8 For though I should boast
somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for
edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be
ashamed: We as ministers are not ashamed of the authority that
has been granted unto us by God to deliever the truth of
scripture. We do not use our authority to bring destruction upon
any one, for that is not in our power. So then is our authority
over you to the good of your souls? Yes. Acts 4:12 Neither is
there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. No more
sacrifices of bulls, goats nor doves will be accepted. Acts
28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God
is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. All
mankind will hear about the salvation of God, but not all will
believe. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation. Salvation comes from the Heart and from confession
from the mouth, as a witness of the Grace and Holiness of God.
2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to
be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Salvation takes a step of faith. A.Assurance from God on your
salvation. 2Co 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your
consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of
the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be
comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. B.No fear.
Phi 1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is
to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation,
and that of God. C.Enlightnment. 2Pe 3:16 As also in all his
epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some
things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and
unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their
own destruction. D.Enemies of the Cross.Phi 3:18 (For many walk,
of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping,
that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: E.Payment. Phi
3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and
whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
#2.HOLINESS; an essential and distinguishing attribute of
someone. The quality of being sacred. Are we then Holy in the
eyes of God? Yes. 1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is
holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 1Pe 1:16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1Pe 2:5 Ye
also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy
priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God
by Jesus Christ. 1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should
shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light: The Trinity of God;1John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. The Holy
Ghost, which gives us all truths and understanding of scripture,
will not live in an unclean body. We are sanctified Holy by God.
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not
your own? We must listen to the ministers of God, because of
their sacrifices for us. 2Co 6:4 thru 2Co 6:10; But in all
things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much
patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In
stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings,
in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by
kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of
truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on
the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishonour, by evil
report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown,
and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as
chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as
poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet
possessing all things. 1Th 4:8 He therefore that despiseth,
despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy
Spirit. We are despised by many but we are not the ones being
despised but God whom dwells within us. We are the ambasitors of
Christ. Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves,
[SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE cannot come from any
earthly sacrifice of any animal. This is idol worship in the new
testiment.] but by his own blood he entered in once into the
holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Holiness
is a state of mind over the body. Liveing a life that is Christ
like in the outward and inward appearance. Rom 11:16 For if the
firstfruit be holy [Jesus], the lump is also holy [the church]:
and if the root be holy[Jesus], so are the branches.[We are the
Branches] Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. We
are Holy, we are in Holiness, we are the of Holiness, we are the
immage of God. Will all believe? No. Mat 7:6 Give not that which
is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend
you. #3. DELIVERANCE; recovery or preservation [Mat 9:17 Neither
do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break,
and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put
new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. 1Th 5:23 And
the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your
whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.] from loss or danger. The act
of delivering or the condition of being delivered. Rescue from
bondage [We all at one time or another were in bondage to this
world and its laws and customs. Sin reigned in our hearts, minds
and spirits.] or danger. A publicly expressed opinion or
judgment, the act of delivering from sin or saving from evil,
the act of regaining or saving someone lost (or in danger of
becoming lost), rescuing from error and returning to a rightful
course; “the reclamation of delinquent children. Without
deliverance there would be no salvation. There would be no
reason to serve God nor believe in Christ. Here is what you are
delivered from; 1. delivered from the law of sin and death. 2.
delivered from the bondage of corruption. 3. delivered from them
that do not believe. 4. delivered from so great a death,{The
second Death}. 5. delivered us from the power of darkness. 6.
delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not
faith. 7. delivered from Persecutions. 8. delivered from
afflictions.{Body and Soul} 9. delivered from the mouth of the
lion. 10. delivered from the filthy conversation of the wicked.
11. delivered from the chains of darkness. SALVATION, HOLINESS
AND DELIVERANCE are ALL one and the same. You cannot have one
without the other. Just as with God, Jesus and The Holy Ghost,
they all are one and all are within in each other. We accept all
or none. ars.
