“…For He Delivered Us and Saved Us and Called Us…”
“for He delivered us and saved us and called us with a holy calling [a calling that leads to a consecrated life—a life set apart—a life of purpose], not because of our works [or because of any personal merit—we could do nothing to earn this], but because of His own purpose and grace [His amazing, undeserved favor] which was granted to us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago],” 2 Timothy 1:9 (Amp)
Today we continue in what is known as the second letter of the Pastoral Epistles, as captured in the Commentary, Apostle Paul continues to minister instruction and encouragement to young Timothy his son in the faith, as he prepares to pass the torch. Today we focus on one single verse out of this letter, but Apostle Paul in this letter hones in on what is of divine importance, sound doctrine, steadfast faith, confident endurance, and lasting love, in doing this he reminds young Timothy and all of Christendom of our place in the essence of God, scripture says, for He delivered us and saved us and called us with a holy calling [a calling that leads to a consecrated life—a life set apart—a life of purpose], not because of our works [or because of any personal merit—we could do nothing to earn this], but because of His own purpose and grace [His amazing, undeserved favor] which was granted to us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago],
Today as we move into our place of prayer, remember this divine essence, remember what God has done in you, what He has done for you and then pray a prayer for others to know, live, and experience God in this manner! Let us be enabled to pray that others know, live, and experience how God has delivered us, God has saved us, and God has called us with a holy calling!
Let’s continue to live this divine narrative, praying for others, so that we all will come to know, live, and experience, for He delivered us and saved us and called us!
