Out Of Bondage

"There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus" (Rromans 3:22 - 23).

        We who have believed in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ; that he was crucified for our sins, are counted to have have died with him. We have been cut forever from the life of bondage. The old taskmasters, Sin and Satan cannot hold us, just as the Pharaoh could not hold on to the children of Israel when the time for their deliverance by God.
        The Pharaoh had allowed the  children of Israel to leave Egypt, but very soon changed his mind. He did not want to lose his slaves, and with a great Army he began to pursue them.  When the Egyptian Army had almost caught the children of Israel, God came between the two hosts. He moved the Pil Cloud so that instead of going infront of his people, he went behind them. The Pillar of Cloud was burning and shining on the children of Israel, but was a wall of darkness to the Egyptians. He also opened a way right through the red sea. The water piled themselves up like two great walls, and the children of Israel marched on  dry land by the light of the Pillar of fire.
            The Egyptians followed the children of Israel, but it was pitch dark a head and they could not see where they were going. God also made their chariot wheels come off so that there was the greatest confusion. Just as they were finding out where they were in the morning, God told Moses to stretch forth his rode over the sea and the waters returned to their place.
               God did not leave the children of Israel inspite of their sinfulness as they continued in their journey. He still guided them and never once took away the Pillar of Cloud and fire.
                 This story speaks to us of the faithfulness of our Lord Jesus Christ. When we trust in him, God's  Holy Spirit takes up abode in our hearts. He puts his seal on us upon believing by giving us his holy spirit. He will never take  away his Holy Spirit from those he has given, and will always guide them out of them ways of Satan.
