“Redeemed By The Lord”
Sunday, July 7, 2024Key Verse
“But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine” (Isaiah 43:1).
Text — Isaiah 43:1-7
Message
Are you passing through unpleasant situations? Here is everything you need for victory, joy and happiness. God assures His children of triumph over all challenges of life because He has redeemed them. On this note, James McGranaham of USA (1840-1907), composed the hymn, “If God be for us.” Hear the comforting lyrics of the first stanza:
Rejoice in the Lord! Oh let His mercy cheer;
He sunders the bands that enthrall;
Redeem’d by His blood why should we ever fear
Since Jesus is our “all in all?”
In the refain he queries, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” God will never allow any challenge to overwhelm you. He fulfilled this promise for Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshack, Abednego, the apostles, and many more. Tell me: why He will disappoint you? Just trust in Him but ensure that you are saved, else repent and surrender your life to Christ now and receive God’s offer of salvation.
Quote
