Today, we move on into the book of Ephesians Chapter One
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
8a which He lavished on us.
Have you thought of what we have, 'In Him'? Redemption. Bought for a price.
From the New Bible Dictionary, it says, "Redemption means deliverance from some evil by payment of a price. It is more than simple deliverance. Thus prisoners of war might be released on payment of a price which was called a ‘ransom’ (Gk. lytron). The word-group based on lytron was formed specifically to convey this idea of release on payment of ransom. In this circle of ideas Christ’s death may be regarded as ‘a ransom for many’ (Mk. 10:45)."
He rescued us out of bondage of sin and death and did so with His blood. Sinless. Blameless. He left His throne for sinful mankind. All our sins. Those seen and unseen. He has lavished on us the riches of His grace. I LOVE THAT! We girls love to be lavished on! Can you imagine what it is to be lavished on by the King of all Kings? He spared no expense! He held nothing back!
What is the enemy holding over your head? Tell him to back off because you are already pruchased and ransomed. He has no hold on you. You are free!

You are bought with a price. Set free from all unrighteousness! Think about it for a bit. Ponder on how much He loves us!
Walk in that today!!!

I thank Him each and every day for bein' so precious in His sight.
ReplyDeleteIt's said that we too often forget that through His power we can put that old devil 'under our feet'. (We love to sing that in Kid's Church and stomp that old devil to smithereens!) :o)
Ya'll have a blessed and cozy day. The cold winds are blowin' here in the Ozarks today.
"Tell [the enemy] to back off"! I love that!!!
