Rescued
Grace to you and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will if our God and Father. To whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Galatians 1:3-5
As I read the above I see the verse: ' to rescue us from this present evil age.'
Today I am aware that our 'age' is evil. We are faced with a society that is giving up normal affection between male and female for same sex marriages; we are seeing men and women rush from one relationship to another in maddening speed. Sex is not sacred to the vast majority of society, neither is honour for parents. As the bible puts it: ' in the last days men will be lovers of self and lovers of money'.
Yet Jesus has come as our deliverer. Having a relationship with Christ and placing that first and foremost in our lives, allowing His word to be truth, will keep us safe.
The world has a lot of competing voices and most relate to lust for that which is unclean and unwholesome. We need to have our faculties trained to discern truth and cling to that truth. Amen!
Even more we need to speak that truth over our lives and not accept anything our enemy puts on us as 'normal'. Disease is not 'normal'. It is out if the pit. Neither is poverty, mental instability, rejection and hatred.
In the book of Galatians we will discover all the 'fruit' of the spirit and all the 'fruit ' of the flesh. We need to know what walking with God produces in our lives.
