ALL-ROUND REDEMPTION
Published by Kehinde Kasper · 1 January 2024
Psalm
111:9 (KJV)
He
sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy
and reverend is his name.
Redemption refers
supremely to the work of Christ on our behalf, whereby he purchases us, he
ransoms us, at the price of his own life, securing our deliverance from the
bondage and condemnation of sin.
Psalm
111:9
He sent redemption unto his
people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
The New Testament speaks of
Christ's saving work in this way frequently. God had a definite purpose in
redeeming. At the most basic level redemption fixes a problem, and the
Bible confronts us with the uncomfortable problem all humans share: we are
cursed because of our inability to live up to the requirements of God’s
law. Galatians 3:10 (KJV) For as many as are of the works of the
law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth
not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Redemption
delivers from the eternal consequences of sin, but it also gives life an
immediate purpose. As if to underline this point, Peter sums up life
before coming to know God through Jesus Christ as “aimless”.
1Peter
1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition
from your fathers;
This
year and forever we shall have All-Round Redemption in every area of
our lives in Jesus Name. Psalm 130 vs.7: Let Israel hope in
the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is
plenteous redemption.
Everyone
is in need of redemption. Our natural condition was characterized by guilt:
“all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. Christ’s redemption
has freed us from guilt, being “justified freely by His grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus”
Romans
3:23-24(KJV):
23 For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians
1:5-6 (KJV)
5
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to
himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in
the beloved.
Heavenly
Father, thank You for redeeming us by mercy.
Let us dwell in Your amazing Love forever in the year 2024
and forever.
Amen
