Continual Deliverance

 
Picture
Salvation is not a single event to look back on. It is a living process that unfolds every day. Scripture uses all three tenses when it speaks of salvation. We have been saved  from the penalty of sin. We are being saved  from the power of harm and self-destruction. We will be saved  when all things are made new.

That middle part--are being saved--is where most of us live. It is the quiet work of God continually delivering us from harm. Every time fear loses its grip, every time an old pattern loses its pull, every time grace steadies what could have collapsed, salvation is still at work.

Paul wrote that Christ “gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from this present evil age” (Galatians 1:4). The word deliver means to draw out of danger. It is not only a past rescue but an ongoing one. Salvation is not a single rescue followed by silence; it is the steady hand of God guiding us out of harm again and again.

The heart that belongs to Him is never left to fend for itself. Each time He pulls us from bitterness, spares us from despair, or guards us from returning to what once broke us, that is salvation doing what it does best. God is not finished saving you. He continues to deliver, preserve, and protect.

Every sunrise brings another chance to live inside that truth. You were saved. You are being saved. You will be saved. The grace that rescued you is the same grace that keeps you.
