Jesus - Our Redeemer!

To redeem something means gain or regain possession of something in exchange for payment.  

Just so, GOD sent HIS Son Jesus to this earth to "redeem" us from our sinful nature.  Jesus had to go onto the cross completely sinless, but He needed to take our sins with Him.  On that cross, with His Blood, He paid for our sins so that we can have, in exchange, life after our death with GOD.

Our sins are paid for in full.  We have nothing more to pay.  However, we need to believe that Jesus is our Redeemer. We need to believe that Jesus is the Son of GOD.  We need to believe that Jesus died on the cross, was buried and rose from the dead.  We need to believe that Jesus ascended into Heaven and that He sits at the right hand of GOD and that the only way to GOD is through Jesus.

Then we need to ask GOD to forgive our sins.  This is done as soon as we acknowledge all of the above and believe it in our hearts.  We need to confess with our mouths, believe in our hearts and commit to asking GOD to forgive us.  Then we are no longer slaves to sin.  We are free and we can share in the inheritance of Jesus.  

But we cannot go on sinning.  Of course, we are human and we sin.  But we should not willingly go on sinning.  We need to change our hearts and be born again into a life of walking with our Saviour, Jesus Christ.  

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I believe that Jesus is my Lord and my Saviour.  Forgive my sins as I forgive those who sin against me.  I ask this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
