Redeemed By The Blood of Jesus

1 Peter 1:18,19
Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation (useless, fruitless way of living) received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Titus 2;14, Amplified Bible
Who gave Himself on our behalf that He might redeem us (purchase our freedom) from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people [to be peculiarly His own, people who are] eager and enthusiastic about [living a life that is good and filled with] beneficial deeds.

News reports are swirling of catastrophes and riots and government takeovers and economies shaking and people taking on fear all over the whole world. We are living in the worst of times, and we are living in the best of times. We as God’s people are living in the best of times, because He will take care of us. If we start looking at all that is happening around us, we become very discouraged and frightened actually. I have been reminded almost hourly in the last several days to keep my focus steadily fixed on Jesus, not looking to the left or to the right.

Jesus Christ has redeemed you and me from the curse of the law into the blessing of Abraham. Part of the curse is uncertainty of our future. We have been redeemed from that.

How have we been redeemed? We have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus from this world’s way of living. Jesus Christ gave Himself up for us, on our behalf, to purchase our freedom from satan’s plan for our lives. His blood washed away satan’s strategies, purposes, plans, schemes, tactics and maneuvers from our lives. Psalm 91 tells us that we will stand and see people fall on both sides of us but we will still be standing firmly. Now is the time that we put action to what we believe. God’s Word is true for us, regardless of the diagnosis, whether it is a doctor’s diagnosis or a government’s diagnosis.

Jesus has paid the ultimate price with His life for us to be free to live a life that is good and filled with benefits. In God’s Word we read that He daily loads us with benefits. The world’s benefits seem to be fading away; they are only temporary. But God’s benefits are eternal, forever.

Encourage yourself in the Lord. CHRIST HAS PURCHASED YOUR FREEDOM WITH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD. WE WILL LIVE IN OUR FREEDOM!
