Why is Deliverance Needed
Rich Ketchel2 minutes ago
Scripture is very clear that sin leads to death. There is no mistake. That sin which has a hold on us—even lives in us—is forgiven by the blood of Jesus when we receive Him as Lord. Our sin was placed upon Him on the Cross. He took the punishment for our sin.
There may still be repercussions. Events may still play out to some degree. But as far as our relationship with Jesus is concerned, we are made whole.
“Now therefore, please forgive my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that He may take away from me this death only.” [Exodus 10:17 NKJV]
For instance, if I were a heavy drinker, there might still be repercussions. My liver might be diseased, I might be addicted, and I might still have lost my job—but I am forgiven. There are repercussions to sin.
