God Attribute, 179

 ~ Rescuer ~

 

This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction ~ In the broad sense the business of God in the world today is rescuing sinners from their sin wages (death: Romans 3:23, 6:23). He does this by offering the gift of eternal life, made possible only through the substitutionary payment for their sins by the death, burial, and most importantly resurrection of His Son – Jesus Christ.

 

Scripture ~ “Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments” (Exodus 6:6).

 

There are additional verses which indicate the confidence that believers have in God’s ability to rescue them.

 

“Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue me from their destructions, my precious life from the lions. I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people” (Psalm 35:17-18).

 

“Stretch out Your hand from above; rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of foreigners. … Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks lying words, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood” (Psalm 144:7, 11).
