Christ Hath Delivered Us

"Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:"  Galatians 1:4.  The will of God was that Christ deliver us from the evil world.  This will of God was determined from the foundation of the world.  Christ delighted Himself in doing the will of the Father.  Christ was the appointed One who would deliver humanity from the evil of sin.  The world is evil.  The devil roams to and fro in the earth deceiving the hearts of the simple.  Christ hath delivered us from this world and has translated us into His kingdom, the church.  Our deliverance came as Christ gave Himself for our sins.  Jesus was without sin, and God accepted the perfect lamb of God as a redeemer.  God has become our Father because of the deliverance that Christ has provided.  The unselfish offering of Christ for us is our deliverance from the evil world.  We are now the citizens of God's kingdom.  Our citizenship in the heavenly realm has come at a great price that Christ paid as He submitted Himself unto the will of God.
