YOU ARE REDEEMED
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.”
Eph 1:7
Main Text: MAIN TEXT: Colossians 1:14
We are redeemed unto God! Our redemption brings Him great pleasure, as He chose, out of His free will, to make us His own special people. When you were born again, you weren’t partially reborn or made half-righteous; you were made the very righteousness of God in Christ! You became a “joint heir with Him.” Jesus went to the cross to share what He already possessed, and He rose again so that you could be recreated in His image. In Christ, you are more than a conqueror. This is the blessing of redemption!
The nature of the new creation is the very nature of Jesus Christ—a nature designed to please God, foster a relationship with Him, and empower us to rule and reign in this world. As the redeemed of the Lord, we are made righteous; we possess His righteousness and are graced with the ability to dominate in all our affairs.
As the redeemed of the Lord, you must strive to be a true disciple of Jesus, willing to lose yourself for His sake and enter into the rest He offers. Prosperity is the birthright of the redeemed, and we are called to fully embrace this truth: You are redeemed!
Confession:
I declare, I am redeemed and enjoy the blessings of righteousness. Wealth and riches are in my home, and I am blessed with longevity. Glory to God—I am a success!

Gal 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
2 Cor 5:17-21 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
