No good think does He withhold to him who walks uprightly. (Psalm 84:11)
Last Week Jehovah Rapha. Restoration of the whole person. Restoration, Forgiveness, Healing, Prosperity.
Atonement - When we hear the word “
Salvation in the Hebrew is all about saving from death, enemies, torment, (pain, sickness). “Save us O God!” The Gospel context is rooted in the Hebrew context.
Rapha –
Rescue the whole man. (If a man is drowning and wearing coat, long pants, shoes. You reach in and grab the whole man.)
Rapha to Sozo
GK: Sozo – to save, to preserve from
Biblical - Salvation is very broad…. Save us from our enemies, sickness, sin, debt, famine, pain, attack.
SOZO
The woman washing Jesus’ feet with tears.
- Luke 7:44-50… your faith has ‘sozoed you’.
Woman who touched Jesus’ garment.
- Luke 8:47-48. “You faith has ‘sozoed’ you.” Physically
Jairus daughter raised up
- Luke 8:49-50. “No fear, only faith, and she will be ‘sozoed’.”
- Don’t save a dead person, don’t heal, but raised up, made well.
Lepers healed
- Luke 17:19…”Your faith has sozoed you…” Healed, Delivered, Saved. -
Jesus as Savior in gospels. He sozoed people. Delivered people from sin, bondage, death.
James 5:13-15 – “Sick? The prayer offered in faith will sozo that person.” Save, deliver, set-free, restore.
Can you see Jesus commissioning the disciples and telling them to go into the world and do what He was doing…and it meant only speaking of heavenly guarantee, and not the same ministry of Jesus to deliver, heal, raise? The same words of sozo are in Acts!
Whatever you need to be ‘saved from’, it’s in sozo, as in the rest of the Scriptures.
