"....RESCUED ME FROM ALL OF IT."

"....But the Lord rescued me from all of it." (2 Timothy 3:11e, NLT)

The Interlinear Greek says that the basic meaning of, "rescued me," is, "to deliver to oneself."

Now Paul is speaking here of persecution, but we can say that our text is a Theological principle of Scripture, Old and New Testament. We are not saved from some "place" or for some "place."  Jesus delivers us to Himself.  This is the Gospel.

Father, in Jesus' Name, what a glorious act, "....to deliver to [Your]self."  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
