Luke 1:74, 75 (NAS)
To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.
Luke 1:74, 75 (Philips)
to make us this gift: that we should be saved from the hands of our enemies, and in his presence should serve him unafraid in holiness and righteousness all our lives.
Luke 1:74, 75 (NLT)
We have been rescued from our enemies, so we can serve God without fear, in holiness and righteousness forever.

You know that the Lord God has done so much for you and when you take time to recall everything, you know that you are extremely blessed.

One of the benefits that Adonai has bestowed on you isdeliverance from your enemies He has rescued you . Satan used to have a firm grip on you, holding you in a chasm. In your own strength and power, you could not escape his control and punishment. Your life was as cold and dead as the severest winter; storms and tempests constantly raged around you. However, Yeshua, your Messiah, having broken the devil's hold, drew you to Himself.

Now your desire is to serve and worship the Lord God Almighty. Although Jesus Christ has set you free, you have made yourself His slave in order to minister to and for Him. You honor Him by giving the homage that is due Him. Now you can come before Him boldly without fear. The Lord's presence does not cause you terror, for you reverence Him.

You are no longer defiled by sin and have been set free from all wickedness. God has made you pure and holy. You are acceptable to Him, for Jesus has exchanged your sinful nature for His righteous one. You now display integrity, virtue, and purity. Your thinking, feeling, and acting have been corrected through Yeshua's sacrificial blood. Now you are innocent, faultless, and guiltless. You are becoming wholly conformed to the will of God. For all the days of your life, you will reflect the glory of the One who saved and restored you.
