Understanding Redemption and What It Means for You and Me
To "redeem" something or someone means a purchase has to occur. The transaction usually signified the release of something or someone. When God the Father sent Jesus Christ, His sacrifice shifted the relationship God would have with mankind. Because of Jesus Christ's blood, we all have the opportunity to experience the results of redemption. The costly blood of Christ frees us from the bondage of sin and death. Once we grasp the impact of redemption and God's grace, we should not stop at being saved. Recognizing Jesus Christ as our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer grants us access to our true calling in life, a new outlook in life, and a greater authority in life. Walking in your redemption means you do not have to be hopeless, downtrodden, or defeated. Rather, when you become saved, you acquire the power of God which offers hope, confidence, and victory.
