Good Morning Beauties!
We begin looking at our next attribute today - Redeemed. The next few days will be deeply moving and, if you’re open, could be life changing for you. I pray you press in, even during the crazy business of life, and let God transform your life.
Let’s begin by looking at the meaning of the word. Until a few years ago, I misunderstood redemption. The Dictionary.com version says, “to gain or regain possession of (something) in exchange for payment.” Here is what the Bible Study Tools website says, “In the Old Testament, redemption involves deliverance from bondage based on the payment of a price by a redeemer.”
Do you see it more clearly? Being redeemed means we have been regained from the sinful world by a redeemer who paid a price. Our redeemer is Jesus and the payment was His precious blood. So that is the very easiest way to break it down, but there is so much more to learn about our redemption.
You may be asking yourself, “Why would Jesus die for me?” That one’s easy - He LOVES you! The Bible is full of beautiful scripture verses describing the love of God. Please find a few favorites that speak to your heart and write them in your journal so you can reflect on them as you continue your journey. Selah.
Here’s a song to lead you in praise and worship today.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
“Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by His blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of His grace.”
