What Will Deliver Us?


The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires. Proverbs 11:6

Have you ever seen a person back pedal and stammer and hem and haw when he is caught in a lie? It’s amazing to see the verbal calisthenics a person will perform just to cover over a simple lie. Telling the truth enables you not to have to perform verbal gymnastics just trying to make yourself look good.

But righteousness in this verse is much more than simply telling the truth.

Our righteousness comes from Christ. There is nothing good that comes from within ourselves; we instead take on the righteousness of Christ.

And that, my friends, is what will deliver us.
