He who redeemed us, or bought us with the sacrifice of His own
life, gives us, as our Prophet or Teacher, wisdom by His Gospel,
to see our fallen state and Himself as our Helper; as our
Priest, He first justifies us and then sanctifies or consecrates
us … and finally, as King, He will fully deliver the faithful
from the domination of sin and death, to a glorious share in His
Kingdom; for "God will raise up [from the dead] us also, by
Jesus."
"Hallelujah! What a Savior!"
Truly He is able and willing to save to the uttermost all that
come unto God by Him
God appointed Jesus to supply our every need. He is our Wisdom in that He teaches us the whole counsel of God. He is our Righteousness in that He imputes His merit to us and enables us to practice justice. He is our Sanctification in that He enabled us to consecrate our humanity to death, and enables us to carry out our consecration fully … enables us to grow in every good thought, quality, word and deed. He is our Deliverance in that He enables us to gain victory over all our spiritual enemies through helping us to exercise an overcoming faith, hope, love and obedience; and ultimately, if we are faithful, will give us victory over death and the grave by raising us from the dead. Hallelujah! What a Savior!
