Deliverance To the True Riches

Deliver Us From This Present Evil World

Next Part 'Conclusion'.


Jesus Christ, "saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life" (John 8:12), is the One to Whom the Father commanded to shine forth a path of Deliverance for us. "For God, Who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the Knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ" (2Corinthians 4:6).

  • (Acts 26:18) "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive Forgiveness of sins, and Inheritance among them which are sanctified by Faith that is in Me."
  • (2Corinthians 3:14, 18) "14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; which veil is done away in Christ... 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the Glory of the LORD, are changed into the same Image from Glory to Glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD."
  • (Philippians 2:6) "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God."
  • (Hebrews 1:3) "Who being the Brightness of His Glory, and the express Image of His Person, and upholding all things by the Word of His Power, when He had by Himselfpurged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty On High."
  • (Colossians 1:15) "Who is the Image of the Invisible God, the Firstborn of every creature."
  • (Romans 11:36) "For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to Whom be Glory for ever. Amen."

And, it is upon the "Knowledge" of the Father's Great Mercy and Love that the Light shines. "4 God, Who is rich in Mercy, for His Great Love wherewith He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by Grace ye are Saved;) 6 and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come He might show the Exceeding Riches of His Grace in His Kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by Grace are ye Saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto Good Works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:4-10).

Now, since "no man hath seen God at any time; the Only Begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him" (John 1:18), it is only the "Only Begotten" Who can deliver us to Him. The world now, especially now, is under great darkness and Great Judgment. For, "now is the Judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out" (John 12:31).
"Now unto God and our Father be Glory for ever and ever. Amen"
(Philippians 4:20).
