Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So

“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.
