Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
Calling drug, tobacco, and alcohol addicts: come to the Lord Jesus Christ!
The Father sent Him to be the Savior of the world, He succeeded. The Samaritans said He is “the Saviour of the world” (John 4:42).
He has promised that “it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call” (Joel 2:32).
“Mt Zion” is another way of saying the Lord’s corporate “body” on earth, His church. (It will become the “Lamb’s wife.”)
The word “remnant” pinpoints His church as those who “keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ”(Rev. 12:17). The Lord, when He issues an invitation like this to addicts, is in dead earnest; He means every word He says. His business is “deliverance.”
The Savior has honored us by giving us permission to call His Father “Our Father.” If you cry out in your distress to the “Father,” not only does He hear you, but He also adopts you as His child! This is proven true here, “You have received the spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father’” (Rom. 8:15). Now you are walking with Him, and you are letting Him hold your right hand (Isa. 41:10, 13).
Now your heavenly Father is far stronger than your earthly parents were; all they could do was pass on to you the “judicial condemnation” that our first father Adam gave us; now your heavenly Father through Christ is pronouncing over you a “judicial verdict of acquittal” in Christ, and that has “much more power” than what Adam gave you (Rom. 5:17, 18).
The grace of Christ is “much more abounding” than all the sinful habits and addictions that Satan can invent ( 5:20). He has given all this to you already; now thank Him for it.
