He Delivers Those That Are His

Pastor Matt Hebert, The Crossway Ministry, 2/11/26
1. If you are born of God, you belong to God— you are His child
2. He is a good Father, and He will not allow anyone to snatch you out of His hand
3. You have been given the righteousness of Christ. However, you must also partner with the Holy Spirit to live a righteous, separated life that shows a darkened world the light of Jesus—this is how we glorify the Father (Matt 5:16)
4. If you follow another voice into dark places, you will vex/ torment your own righteous soul. It will affect your (soul): mind (thinking), will (what you want) and emotions (what you are feeling).
5. The good news is that He rescued Lot, and He will rescue you!
6. We must understand that while we are there (Sodom), we are sowing of the flesh. Flesh seed produces a crop of corruption (Galatians 6:7-8). It’s not God’s fault, it’s a spiritual law. The good news is that once delivered out of Sodom, we can start a new crop and sow righteous seed.
7. The safe path is to train our ears to the voice of the Good Shepherd and our eyes to know (see) what the Kingdom of God looks like. And the only way this is possible is to allow ourselves to undergo the enculturation of the word of the Kingdom and submit ourselves to the Spirit of God.
