Luke 1:72-75
KJV(i) 72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
Luke 1:72-75Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
72 He has dealt mercifully with our fathers
and remembered His holy covenant—
73 the oath that He swore to our father Abraham.
He has given us the privilege,
74 since we have been rescued
from our enemies’ clutches,
to serve Him without fear
75 in holiness and righteousness
in His presence all our days.

72-73 He is referring to the promise of a coming Messiah. The promise of given to Abraham that the whole world would be blessed by him, for a long time it was just a promise but later the pieces Moses talked about a Prophet. The prophets later said this Prophet would take the seat of David or the throne but none may have known just how much the world would be blessed by Jesus.
74 Christ was seen as someone who would overthrow Rome but He came to overthrow sin. Freedom is nothing if you die to sin and be separated from God forever. Christ will come again to reign. The world may hurt us but we need to serve God in spite of what the world may do to us.
75 We can be seen as holy now because we have Christ. We are made pure by Christ. Christ died so we can be made righteous by His righteousness.
