Luke 1:71, 74-75 … that we should be saved from our enemies …
that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
In these verses that are part of Zechariah’s blessing over
the birth of his son, John the Baptist, I see God’s plan of salvation in a
nutshell. God’s purpose in sending Jesus
as the Messiah was in order to save us from our enemies, sin and death. Once we are delivered form the clutches of
sin and death we are able and ready for “phase two” of God’s plan. We are ready to serve God all the rest of our
lives without any fear of those enemies.
We have His holiness on our side for the battle of life and service and
we walk and serve in the robe of righteousness that is our confidence and out
strength for service.
