Hymn Of Faith: GOD Is Able To Deliver
There is a hymn that we sing, He Is Able To Deliver Thee, and of course, the question is, do you believe that GOD is able to deliver thee? Do you even know what you need deliverance from? When being challenged by their captor, King Nebuchadnezzar, three of the Jewish men refused to bow down to the king's man-made idol. At the threat of death, the men still would not bow, but instead spoke to the king:(Daniel 3:16 King James) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
(Daniel 3:17 King James) If it be so , our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
(Daniel 3:18 King James) But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Through the LORD JESUS CHRIST, our GOD is able to deliver us. It may not be from the fiery burning furnace, but HE is able to deliver us, regardless.
Make a note of this: those three Jewish men, were willing to die for GOD. They were willing to let GOD slay them because even in death, they knew that GOD is still able to deliver. Those who trust in JESUS CHRIST for salvation believe in HIM not simply as SAVIOUR, but as HE who will raise us all up when HE returns for the church, giving us new bodies!
(1 Corinthians 15:49 King James) And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
(1 Corinthians 15:51 King James) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
(1 Corinthians 15:52 King James) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(1 Corinthians 15:53 King James) For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
(1 Corinthians 15:54 King James) So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Want more?
(Philippians 3:20 King James) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
(Philippians 3:21 King James) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
