DELIVERANCE: CYCLE OF TEMPTATION PART II

The Cycle of Temptation is - Temptation, Deliverance, then finally Victory.
This is part 2 of a 3 part post. The first post was Temptation.

GOD'S PROMISES:
(Job 5:19) He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

(Psa 91:3) Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
NOTE: When we are trapped already, he has promised to get us out. Therefore let us call on His Name for "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

(1Co 10:13) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

(2Ti 4:18) And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
NOTE: Here we see His Promise of preservation and deliverance til we shall stand on that other shore.

(2Pe 2:9) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

(Gal 1:4) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:


THE REASON THAT CHRIST GAVE HIMSELF FOR US:
(1Co 15:3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (4)And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
NOTE ABOVE: The clearest definition of the Gospel in the New Testament is Christ's Death, Burial, and Resurrection.

(1Pe 2:24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

(1Jn 2:2) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
DEFINITION: PROPITIATION
FROM WIKIPEDIA.ORG
In Christianity, Propitiation is a theological term denoting that by which God is rendered propitious, i.e., that 'satisfaction' or 'appeasement' by which it becomes consistent with His character and government to pardon and bless sinners. The propitiation does not procure His love or make Him loving; rather, it renders it consistent for Him to exercise His love towards sinners.
(Rev 1:5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST... WE LOVE YOU!
