YOU ARE REDEEMED
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.”
Ephesians 1:7
Main Text: Main Text: Psalm 103:4
Jesus redeemed us by paying the price we couldn't pay. He is our Redeemer. "the riches of His grace" means that He has the ability to do through you the thing that you can't do. He is so rich in grace that He can provide enough grace for every single person to do the thing that they cannot do for themselves. You may wonder what does the term redeem actually mean? In lame man terms, it means taking back something valuable you once lost at a cost. In this case, God paid for you through the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
There is no earthly person who can pay the price for salvation. It does not matter how hard a person may work at it. People can do good deeds. They can tithe but that will not get them saved. No one can be saved by works. Nothing, absolutely nothing you can do can save you.
His grace is abundant towards you that He chose you before you chose Him, because He loves you so dearly! And wants you to Himself! Glory to God! You are redeemed!
Confession:
I am the redeemed of the Lord, therefore, I will say so, I am blessed by faithful Abraham, I am blessed in the New Covenant, I am heirs of the promise, glory be to God in the highest!
