The Rescue

Rescue is defined as "to free or deliver from confinement, violence, danger, or evil." Scripture uses the term many times to express God's incredible mission, sending His Son to earth in order to save us.


The Apostle Paul states:
"It's news I'm most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message of God's powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts Him..."
Romans 1:16-17


God's "powerful plan" was sending Jesus to serve as our rescue! This is an amazing fact!

The truth is we are all morally corrupt people that need a rescue. We sin on a daily basis and nothing we could ever do could be perfect and holy enough to please God in order that He might just forget all the horrible things we have done. That is why God sent Jesus! Christ's death meets the requirements and demands of God's holy nature. That means that even though we fall short and mess up, even though we hurt God and hurt others regularly, even though we royally mess up our lives continually, we can be forgiven and made acceptable to God every time.

God has truly rescued us - freed us, delivered us - from confinement to sin and ultimately an eternity apart from Him.

Because of this, I feel that it is my duty as a Christ-follower to serve as a rescue for those who have not yet been saved by Jesus' actions. God freely gave this gift of salvation and there are millions of people around the world that have not yet accepted this free gift.

I want to be a part of the Church that God has called His people to be. I want to reach those who have not accepted Jesus as their Savior yet. I want to show them the grace and love that I have received through a relationship with Jesus. I want to serve people because the Master of all masters and the King of all kings served the least important people. I want to live a life dedicated to following God's standards and Jesus' life. I want to be a part of the great mission to "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone." I want to be a part of God's great mission to rescue every person in need of saving. And I believe that I will be a part of the New Reformation that will see the Church become all that they are suppose to be - The Rescue to our decaying world.
