Good Morning Beauties!
Any journey will seem a little monotonous after awhile, but I pray you push through it and open your heart for what’s to come. God has so much more for you in these last three stanzas of the song. He has many more Truths for you to know. (And in my opinion, these three are the biggies.)
For the next few days we’ll look at our Redemption. Jesus has redeemed us! To be honest, until I started my first journey, I was getting redemption confused with reconciliation. In case anyone else is a little confused, let’s look at the definitions.
From Google Dictionary, Redemption is, “the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment, or clearing a debt.” Reconciliation is, “the end of the estrangement, caused by original sin, between God and humanity.” - Wikipedia Theology. These definitions make it clear that our redemption makes it possible to be reconciled to God.
So then, how are we redeemed? The precious blood of Jesus Christ was payment for our sins. He was willing to die on the cross to pay the debt He did not owe to bring us back to The Father. The gravity of this Truth is almost too much to comprehend. In this season of Easter, let’s spend time pondering Jesus’ great sacrifice. Selah.

“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.”
