*REDEMPTION
IN CHRIST*
Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
(Rom
3:24 KJV)
*Redemption
is the act of redeeming, that is to deliver, ransom or set free from something.
A slave could be redeemed from slavery, in the same way nowadays a certain
crime can be settled by paying a fine instead of someone doing jail time.
Without Christ a human being is still bound and tied to slavery to evil and the
world and its systems but this is not so for a born again believer.
*Those
that have accepted Jesus Christ have got salvation, redemption, freedom and
have been ransomed from the wickedness of the world. It is only by the blood of
Jesus that souls can be saved and set free nothing else can pay for a person’s
salvation . . . Even of those who trust in and lean on their wealth and boast
of the abundance of their riches? None of them can by any means redeem [either
himself or] his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him-- (Psa 49:6-7)
*It
cost God the life of His son Jesus Christ for your eternal freedom and
salvation from all evil. That is a big price! Do not take the blood of Jesus
for granted, your life must reflect the liberty that the blood of Jesus bought.
God bought your freedom so your life can shine with His Glory . . . Who gave
himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto
himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Tit 2:14)
*Realize
that you weren't set free from the worthless life handed down to you from your
ancestors by a payment of silver or gold which can be destroyed. Rather, the payment
that freed you was the precious blood of Christ, the lamb with no defects or
imperfections. (1Pe 1:18-19) You are God’s property for He bought you by the
blood of Jesus, you must therefore Glorify God in this life by obeying His Word
to allow His perfect Will to take place.
What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in
you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a
price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
(1Co 6:19-20)
PRAYER
Thank you Father for purchasing my freedom and salvation
from every form of evil. I realize that my life belongs to you and is in your
hands, perform your perfect predestined Will in me in the name of Jesus. AMEN
SEE;
For
he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in
his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus
Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- to the praise of his
glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we
have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with
the riches of God's grace
(Eph 1:4-7)
