April 6th - Rescued!

"The Lord will rescue me from EVERY evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” (2 Timothy 4:18)

We will be rescued from every evil deed when the Lord has brought us "safely to His heavenly Kingdom." But for now we live in what Paul calls "this present EVIL age" and it is His will for us to suffer at least some while we are here.

 "Grace to you and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who gives Himself for our sins, so that He might extricate us out of the present wicked eon, according to the will of our God and Father, to Whom be glory for the eons of the eons." (Galatians 1:4) 

EVIL serves as the contrast to GOOD. Adam and Eve would have never known how good they had it, except for experiencing the evil that came when they disobeyed. What we learn from experiencing evil is simple. Good is better than evil!

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst." (1 Timothy 1:15)

Paul says that Jesus came into the world to "save sinners" and that he was the "worst."

Who has a greater need to be saved - Mother Teresa or Hitler? If God saved the "worst" he will save everyone else.

"...we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all humanity, especially of believers." (1 Timothy 4:10)

All will be rescued - thank you Father!
