Songs of deliverance

Both Passover and Messiah's

Resurrection are celebrations of G=d's deliverance. In Passover, we celebrate

G=d's deliverance for the nation of Israel. After spending years in physical

bondage or slavery, YHVH raised up Moses and delivered the people of Israel. In

Messiah's Resurrection, we celebrate our deliverance from our slavery to sin.

 

 

The Apostle Sha'ul (Paul) said, "We know that the law (Torah) is

spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin (Romans 7:14)." And

Yeshua (Jesus) Himself said, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave

to sin (John 8:34)." Unfortunately, everyone of us sin, and therefore, according

to Yeshua, we are all slaves to sin. But YHVH has provided deliverance for us.

 

Yeshua came to set us free from sin, and all the consequences of sin (separation

from our heavenly Father, sickness, ...). Yeshua declared, ... if the Son sets

you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:36)." G=d provided deliverance for

Israel, and YHVH provided deliverance for all of us, from our slavery to sin. But

just because YHVH provided deliverance it doesn't mean we are all free. YHVH

raised up Moses to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt and their slavery. He

told the people of Israel to kill a spotless lamb and apply it's blood to the

doorposts of their homes. YHVH then sent the angel of death to destroy the

firstborn sons of man and livestock. G=d promised the people of Israel when He

saw the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their home He would pass over, and

no death or destruction would come to anyone in their home. The people who

obeyed YHVH, and did as He commanded, were protected and experienced YHVH's

deliverance. The word apply means to make practical use of. Just because some

people sacrificed a lamb, and applied it's blood to the doorposts of their home,

it didn't mean everyone was delivered. Only those who made use of the blood of

the lamb by applying it on the doorposts of their home were delivered from death

and destruction.

 

In fulfillment of the promises of G=d found throughout

the Hebrew Scriptures, Yeshua died for the sins of the world. As John declared,

Yeshua is "the Lamb of G=d who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29)!" But

just like the Passover lamb, every person must apply the blood, make practical

use of it, in

order for it to do them any good. Consider the following

Scriptures:

"That if you confess with your

mouth, "Yeshua is Lord," and believe in your heart that G=d raised Him from the

dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are

justified, and it is with your mouth you confess and are saved (Romans 10:9)."

 

 

"And

this is the testimony (evidence or proof): G=d has given us eternal life, and

this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the

Son of G=d (YHVH in the flesh) does not have life.(1 John 5:11-12)."

 

This is the season of

deliverance. G=d has offered all of us deliverance from our sins and the

consequences of our sins. Deliverance has been offered, but have you accepted

it, and made practical use of it (Messiah Yeshua)? If you have not, delay no

longer. You don't need to remain a slave to sin, sickness or anything else. "...

If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:36)."
