How do we know that God frees His people from captivity?
Answered in 1 source
God's promise to free His people is evident through His actions from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
Scripture affirms that God actively intervenes to release His chosen people from captivity. In Zechariah 9:11, it is stated that by the blood of the covenant, God sends forth His prisoners from the pit where there is no water. This liberation narrative continues into the New Testament where Jesus declares in John 8:36, 'If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.' The consistent historical examples—such as the Exodus from Egypt—demonstrate God's faithfulness to deliver His people in their times of need. Thus, understanding God's sovereign grace assures us that He will fulfill His promise to free His elect.
