“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the Enemy” (Psalm 107:2).
“And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will” (2 Timothy 2:24-26).
“When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life” (Romans 6:20-22).
“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death” (Hebrews 2:14-15).
When we are freed from sin, the devil, and the fear of death, we are to say so. Paul’s conversion is recorded in Acts 9. He testifies to this in Acts 22 and Acts 26. In other words, there are three accounts of his receiving Christ. It must be important.
Have you written your testimony of how and when you were set
free from sin? Have you given copies of your testimony to believers and
unbelievers? It makes no difference whether you were three years old or sixty
years old. It was still a great deliverance.
