Delivered And Preserved – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 18th

(You’re Saved, Whole, and Secure in Christ)

TO THE BIBLE: Romans 10:10
“For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

LET’S TALK
The word “salvation” is a unique word that’s often only used by those who believe in Jesus Christ. While many may have a general idea of what it means, only a few have explored the Scriptures to grasp its true meaning and implications.

Salvation, simply, means to deliver, to make whole, and to preserve. That’s what Jesus brought to us. He “saved” us, and the term ‘saved’ originates from the Greek word “sozo,” which embodies the full scope of what Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection achieved for mankind.

So, when we say that Jesus brought salvation, it means He brought deliverance, completeness and preservation.

Thus, when you say you’re saved by Jesus Christ, it means He delivered you, made you complete, and preserved you. You’ve been delivered from the power of darkness, from sin, from fear, from death and Satan’s dominion, into God’s perfect will.

Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV says, “Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”

Having been delivered, He brings you into that state of completeness, protecting you and stopping anything or anyone from affecting the wholeness He has given you.

Now that you’re born again, you’re whole, sound and exactly as He intended in His perfect will. Nothing is left out in your life. You’re perfected in Him. Hallelujah!

This is what we preach: that in Christ Jesus, you’ve been delivered, made whole and preserved. Blessed be God!

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of salvation that I have received in Christ Jesus. I’m delivered, complete in Christ, and preserved in the state of wholeness and victory. My life is a testimony of your saving power, and I walk in your perfect will, and in the full blessings of the Gospel of Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
