JESUS IS OUR REDEMPTION.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us …REDEMPTION:

 1 Corinthians 1:30

We were all the slaves of Satan and of sin.

The devil led us captive at his will.

Sin, in its various forms, like so many fetters, bound us fast.

Having yielded to Satan, we were rebels against God, and traitors to his throne and government.

Justice demanded a ransom for our liberation, and power was requisite to free us from Satan's grasp.

 

Jesus, our most glorious Redeemer, undertook our cause.

He came, and paid down his blood, his precious life, as the price of our redemption.

He went back to Heaven to procure and send the Holy Spirit, in order that we might be set free.

He commanded the everlasting gospel to be preached to all nations, which proclaims . . .
the greatness of his love,
the price he paid as our ransom,
the power he exerts for our redemption, and
the glory to which he will raise all who believe on his name.

 

Christ alone is our redemption.

He undertook our cause in the covenant.

 He came to pay the ransom righteously demanded.

He claimed and called us from the kingdom of darkness by his Spirit's power.

He will . . .
raise us from the grave,
introduce us to his glorious kingdom, and
present us to our heavenly Father without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing!

I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. Hosea 13:14
