Day 26 "You Are Redeemed"
Good Morning Beauties!
We begin a new attribute today, our redemption. The word means, "To set something or someone free by paying a ransom." We have been set free by the payment of Jesus' precious blood. Is there anything more stunning than this act of love by our Abba Father and Jesus? Selah.
I always want to know the "why behind the what." I love revelation from God, but I also love to know why He chose to do something a certain way. Are you like that too? If we look at redemption, and the "why" behind it, we'll see it is for the Glory of God. Let's look at what the Message Bible says about this subject in Ephesians 1:6-10....
The God of Glory
3-6 "How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son."
7-10 "Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth."
Our redemption is BEAUTIFUL! Please listen to a moving song about your redemption and reflect in your journal what you hear from God. Selah.
