Redemption

 Redemption is a beautiful word.

To understand what it means to be redeemed is to appreciate the word redemption.

The beauty of redemption is in the dignity, value, and favor it places on the redeemed by the redeemer.

Redemption gives the redeemed 'cards' to play and operate with, spiritual cards that is.

Redemption is an act of kindness from the redeemer to the redeemed.

In the book of Ruth in the Bible we see a beautiful work of redemption at play.

Boaz redeemed Ruth a widow, by purchasing the right to be her husband, providing for her and her mother in-law and changing her fortunes.

We also see Jesus Christ redeeming the woman caught in the act of adultery, he redeemed her from shame and death by giving her the freedom and opportunity to start afresh with an "empowerment to go and sin no more."

We also see the greatest work and act of redemption carried out by Jesus Christ for humanity.

Through His blood, the sacrifice of His life, the offer of redemption has been extended to humanity.

Redemption grants us a new beginning and a new reality.

Humanity was in need of redeeming, Jesus came as our kinsman redeemer to redeem us from sin and its effects on humanity that we may be reconciled to God.

Redemption is a great extension of God's loving kindness to us at the expense of Jesus Christ.

The redeemer is the one who pays the price of redemption.

To redeem is to buy back.

Redeeming costs a lot, it is not cheap to redeem.

If you are going to redeem another, you will have to pay a price for that persons buyback which is higher than the real cost of the individual.

When the blood of Jesus was shed, the highest price for our redemption was paid.

"The life of a thing is in its blood"

When Jesus was whipped, pierced with a spear, and crucified on the cross after being injured from the crown of thorns his blood flowed.

It was holy blood, righteous blood, not the blood of a mere man.

It was his life flowing out of Him for our redemption.

There is no greater price or act of love shown towards humanity.

It was the price of our redemption that we may be clean, free, and in relationship with God our creator.

Now, we can claim rights, access blessings, navigate the spiritual realm and lay hold on precious promises. All because of our redemption in Christ Jesus!

Blood is a legal tender in the spiritual realm, it is valuable like gold is valuable in the physical realm.

Spirits value blood because they don't have blood.

The best blood has been shed for you and I.

We are now redeemed and have rights.

That holy blood, with holy life, from a divine being- God in human flesh redeems us when accepted and appropriated by faith.

We can confess and profess the word because we have been redeemed.

We can make decrees and they will stand!

"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so."
