Chapter 9: Redemption part 1

We no longer need the law to condemn us, for the death of Christ introduced mercy and righteousness which gave us a new status before God. Romans 3:21- 31. We’ve been justified by grace, yes we’ve become righteous before God. To redeem means to loose ( LUTRO in greek); bought by the precious blood of Jesus ( exagorazo)

Jesus redeemed us to accomplish his own eternal purpose that’s the divine cause for our redemption so we can give him the glory Revelation 13:8.He predestined us for his glory. That’s why he says we should rejoice that our names have been written in the book of life. Its not about your strength or righteousness its the sacrifice if ZGod fir your sake . Luke 19:20, luke 22:42.

We are redeemed to fulfill prophecy – the word if God declared in the past.There are seven characteristics of redemption: Ransom, Passover sacrifice, Propitiation, Reconciliation, sin offering , sweet savour offering and atonement. Romans 3:24., 1 Timothy’s 2:6.
