Human Response 775: Trust in the Lord brings Help and Deliverance

Psalm 37:40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Faith and trust is the key. Faith receives, activates, and makes alive, present, and real the help, deliverance, and salvation which our gracious God has given to us in the Son of God, who became a human person to die and rise in our place. It’s not the faith that saves, but it is the person in whom trust is placed. Faith receives the free gift of help, deliverance, and salvation granted by grace.

We are delivered from the wicked. The wicked are the spiritual Enemies, Sin, Death, and the Devil. From these dangerous wicked foes the Lord Jesus has saved and delivered us at the cross and sealed that victory at the empty tomb. This message is what we believe and the freed up life we enjoy.
