Luke 1:74-75 "That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life."
God promise Abraham the entire world would be blessed through his seed.The seed of faith and righteousness.All who,like Abraham, and believed God, are the seed of Abraham.But fallen man needed to be redeemed. The redemption of mankind and the fulfilment of Gods promise would involve three things.

The first would be our deliverence from the hands of our enemies. Through out this life, we are threatened and sometimes over taken by the many enemies in this christian journey.There are false gods we've created, the constant conflict with the lust and desires of the flesh,over taken by pride and self righteousness, and power, prestige and prosperity hold many captive. But the soul of man is longing to be made free from all ungodly rulers. God promised us a delieverer which would free us from all and show us the way to an eternal rest in the land of promise and he Gave us Jesus. The second aspect of redemption is spiritual.See at times we have a good relationship with God, and we benifit from that relationship.But there are times when we turn our backs on God and suffer the consequences. God wants a personal, daily relationship with his people, one where we will be totally devoted to him. Jesus is the power of God to bring us into this type of relationship with God.But for this to happen we must surrender our all to Jesus and trust solely in His will for our lives. Then the third aspect of redemption is moral.We need guidance in right living, we need a change of heart. Jesus brings about a redemption of the heart, one that would allow us to have love for our fellow man, a sacrificial love which will seek the good for others over the good of yourself. A new heart and a new spirit which will allow us to serve God without fear but with holiness and righteousness.
Jesus said "you cannot put new wine in old skins" neither can you put this new spirit in the old heart, so with the new birth ,we are given a new heart,which brings about the renewing of the mind,thus transforming us into Christ like creations, or Christians.......
God fulfilled his promise to us, he gave us Jesus, and Jesus protects us from all our enemies, he is the way back into the right relationship with God, a relationship which will result in a changed heart.....Got Jesus? share with the world the precious gift which was shared with you..http://gottjesus.blogspot.com/
