HIS PEOPLE

Matthew 1:21 --
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins (NIV).

Luke 1:68 --
Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
because he has come and has redeemed his people.

Luke 1:76-77 --
And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins...

Luke 7:16-17 --
16 They were all filled with awe and praised God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people." This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.

Do you belong to "His people"?

If so, then Jesus came to save you from your sins. He has come to redeem you. You'll be given the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of your sins. He has come to help you!

Finally, we read in Revelation 21:3-4 --
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
