Redemption and The Word of God
We finish our study of redemption this time by looking at scriptures concerning redemption. Remember that we always line ourselves up with the Word of God.
There is a song flowing through my spirit today. Some of you may have heard it before. Redeemed; redeemed; redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; redeemed; redeemed; his child and forever I am. That really sums up what our redemption is all about. Jesus’ blood purchased us and God’s child we are forever. But remember, even though redemption is available, if a person does not accept what Jesus has done, he will die and go to hell without ever partaking of what was his all along while he was on this earth. And even Christians will die and go to heaven without ever partaking of what was made available to them because of the shed blood of Jesus.
In Isaiah 43 God is talking to His people Israel about redeeming them. He says the same thing to us because we are Christ’s and if we be Christ’s, then we are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29).
In the first verse of Isaiah 43 KJV, we see this: But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. In the Amplified Bible we read this: But now [in spite of past judgments for Israel’s sins], thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name, you are Mine.
In Isaiah 44:22 we read in the Amplified Bible: I have blotted out like a thick cloud your transgressions, and like a cloud your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. Read all of chapters 43 and 44 to see the fullness of God’s love for His people.
In Psalm 103:4 we read that He has redeemed our lives from destruction.
In Psalm 111:9 we read that God has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever.
When John the Baptist was born, Zacharias, his father was filled with the Holy Ghost and prophesied of Jesus. He said that God has come and brought deliverance, redemption to His people. He has remembered His Holy covenant. He has remembered the oath that He swore to our father Abraham, that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life (Luke 1:67-75).
In Galatians 3:13,14 we read that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ (Read Deuteronomy 28 for the blessing and the curse.). In Romans 8:2 we read that the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus (blessing) has made us free, set us free from the law of sin and death (curse).
In 1 Peter 1:18 we read that we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus). In Ephesians 1:7 and Colossians 1:14 we read that we have redemption through the blood of Jesus. In Hebrews 9:12-15 we read that Jesus Christ obtained eternal redemption for us through His blood. In Revelation 5:9 we read concerning Jesus, the Lamb of God: for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.
In Romans 3:24 and 1 Corinthians 1:30 we read that redemption is in Christ Jesus.
In Ephesians 4:30 we read that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, that day of final deliverance, when we shall be with Jesus.
My suggestion to you at the conclusion of this teaching is that you go back to the gospels again and read what Jesus did for you in light of what you have learned this week. Read the epistles (Galatians, Ephesisans, Philippians, Colossians) which are really written to you as the church and see them in the light of redemption. I believe that it will change your life and your response to the nasty things that satan sends your way. I believe that you will respond with your spirit rather than your flesh. CHRIST HAS REDEEMED US. Meditate on this reality until the image of who you are is changed forever, eternally.
