“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (v.7)
Redemption conveys the idea of delivering a man from a situation that he is totally powerless to liberate himself from. It is releasing someone from a penalty they could never pay. That’s the picture Paul is painting in this verse.
Jesus paid the price for our freedom with His own blood. It was a sacrifice that cost Him His life, but provided life for us – something we could never do for ourselves. Why?
Paul gives us the reason right here; it was “according to the riches of His grace.” We have redemption, forgiveness, and freedom because of the free gift of God’s GRACE – which He gives freely to all men, who do not deserve redemption.
The thing is, you must bewilling to receive it. See the prayer, “Connect With God,” to the right of this page and receive His gift of redemption today.
The Truth: “If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
