When people need to be rescued. People are rescued from something. A person is rescued from the rising waves. A person is rescued from wreckage. Sinful people need rescue too. Sinners need rescue from a guilty record. Sinners need rescue from a verdict. Sinners need a loving and merciful God to spare us. In Jesus’ suffering and death God spared us from the punishment we deserve. But not only does God spare us from something but he spares us for something. Not only has God spared us from punishment, but he has spared us for a new life with him.
