A Gospel of Freedom and Deliverance

John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The truth of God’s Word sets your heart free from the bondage of Satan’s lies.  When you realize the truth of God’s Word about what God has done for you, you will have confidence towards your heavenly Father.

Let us begin to look at one thing that God has done for us:

I Corinthians 1:30
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

This is the gospel of deliverance for you today: that if you are born of God you are not an unrighteous person because God has made you righteous, given you wisdom, you have been sanctified, and you have been redeemed! No one can achieve this by their own efforts. It was made unto us, done for us.

From the Webster’s Dictionary:

Righteous – Right and just. Virtuous; blameless.
Wisdom – Ability to discern what is true and right, and to make sound judgments from those discernments.
Sanctify – To set apart as holy. To free of sin; purify.
Redeem – To regain possession of by paying a price. To set free; ransom. 

These words above describe you and what God has freely done for you.

Basically everyone wants to be righteous before God.  Therefore, they try to work out their own righteousness and do works that make themselves look righteous.  These actions include confessing sins and following the Ten Commandments.  However, good works do not make a person righteous.  Righteousness comes from God through the faith of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 3:9
And be found in him [Christ] not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

The righteousness of God is given to everyone who believes (every believer).  It is not by the cross you bear, but by the cross that Christ bore for you.

II Corinthians 5:21
For he [God] hath made him [Christ] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

We were made the righteousness of God.

Some people teach that you can be righteous one minute and then become unrighteous the next minute.  This is not true.  Once God makes you righteous, you are forever stamped “RIGHTEOUS.” 

You cannot earn it. God just made you that way when you received holy spirit.  Praise God!

The sin problem no longer exists.  It was settled in Jesus Christ.  Now it is only a matter of renewing the mind back to the truth.  You no longer need to fear, worry, or feel unworthy!  You can have that confidence that you are worthy through Christ Jesus!

I John 3: 20-21
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.  Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 

No worry, fear, guilt, or any other lie from this world can defeat you because you know all these things were overcome by way of Jesus Christ and that you have been made righteous.  When you realize this truth from God’s Word, you will then have confidence to “come boldly unto the throne of grace…” (Hebrews 4:16).

Eph 1:3-4
Blessed be the God and Father or our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Are you blessed?  You have been blessed with ALL spiritual blessings…I would say that makes you, of all people, most blessed. 

God chose you.  He chose you to be holy and without blame!  And you are before Him in love.  What a wonderful truth that breaks the chains off my heart, and I’m sure your’s as well. 
This truth (that God has made us righteous, holy, and with out blame because He loves us) enables people to think and live victoriously.  Set people free with this truth.  Study it, make it your own so that you can have confidence in God and share it with others.
