Redeemed How I Love to Proclaim It!
Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!
We used to sing a hymn in church titled, "Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!" It has always been one of my favorite hymns:
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am.
Refrain:
Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
His child, and forever, I am.
We finished up our series through the book of Ruth yesterday and the focal point of the last message was that Boaz's "redemption" of Ruth was a beautiful foreshadowing or picture of what Jesus Christ offers us today!
C.H. Spurgeon once quipped, "My entire theology can be condensed into four words: Jesus died for me."
That in its condensed form is what Christ's redemption means. Paul makes this point in two of his letters; one to the church at Rome and one at the church of Ephesus:
Romans 5:10-12 NASB95
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. [11] And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. [12] Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—
Ephesians 1:7-8 NASB95
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace [8] which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight
Friend, the only hope we have today is being reconciled back to God through the glorious grace of God. Have you come to a place where you realize you a sinner in need of God's grace? Have you repented of your sins and put your complete faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross? If so, you've been redeemed!
“By Christ’s purchasing redemption, two things are intended: his satisfaction and his merit; the one pays our debt, and so satisfies; the other procures our title, and so merits. The satisfaction of Christ is to free us from misery; the merit of Christ is to purchase happiness for us.” Jonathan Edwards
