Col. 1:13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

In Whom - In Christ we are once and for all time (forever and ever) liberated (note that "we have" is in the present tense indicating that Christ's redemption is our present and continuous possession! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!) because He has paid the redemption price in full (see Commentary on "It is Finished" in John 19:30) with His infinitely, inestimably precious blood (1Pe 1:18, 19-note). Beloved, in light of this great doctrine, we need to learn to daily walk in His glorious gift of freedom, not under a burden of legalism (cp 1Jn 5:3) but motivated by an attitude of gratitude and love which generates the obedience of faith 

AND

Christ paid the ransom price (see lutron/lytron used only twice in NT = Mt 20:28, Mk 10:45) with His blood (1Pe 1:18-19-note, 1Pe 1:20-Note; 1Cor 6:20-note; Rev 5:9-note), freeing us from the curse of the law (Gal 3:13; 4:5) and releasing us from bondage of sin into the freedom of grace (cp Ro 6:14-Note).

 

WE didn’t just get back to broke… zero. 

REDEEMED NOT JUST TO BE BACK TO PAID, BUT TO BE FREE. 

IF YOU PAY THE PRICE FOR A SLAVE… THAT IS NOT FREEDOM. 

REDEMPTION IS ABOVE AND BEYOND: YOU PAY THE PRICE  TO PURCHASE THE SLAVE AND THEN YOU SET THEM FREE! 

 

Eph. 1:7 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,

GK = abundance of all things including riches and property and things! 

 

 

 

APPLY THIS IN 3 WAYS

  -1  Begin to worship God as a redeemer it unlocks a new understanding of who God is and what he wants to do in your life, ministry, finances, relationships, 

 

  - 2  Practice and believe for redeemed Relationships.

YES WITH GOD

BUT NOW WITH OTHERS IN YOUR LIFE

 

Tim and Melissa… God wanted to redeem those relationships. And he has! It is better than ever. 

 

  -  3  Choose to see yourself as redeemed? 

The world can’t say they are redeemed. 

They might say “this is mine, I want what’s mine, I am going after it - I earned this

I had to grind

I worked my tail off

its all based on the flesh -

 

The mindset is all of me body soul and spirit, My health, my wealth, my mind… Yes I put in the good works… trusting God to redeem my effort through his Holy Spirit. 

You buy the boat, you repair the sail, you hire the men to run your ship, you train, study and even purchase the food  for the long voyage… but its God who sends the wind. He redeems your work with the wind…. but you gotta put in the work.
