Attribute/Name of God ~ Redeemer

  People search for a way to relieve the guilt of specific sins…they try many ways to wipe sin out of their lives…without success.  Could this be said of you?
There is only one way to receive God’s forgiveness and that is through faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ…for Christ is the Redeemer which God has provided for you.

Redeem:
Deliverance upon payment of a ransom; a rescue; Salvation from sin through Christ’s sacrifice.
Redeemer: One who redeems; a savior.  Christ.

What does Christ the Redeemer do for those who follow Him?
Transfers from darkness to Christ’s kingdom
(NASB) Colossians 1:13-14 “For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Redeemed from the Law’s curse
(NASB) Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us–for it is written, ‘CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE’–
14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Living by faith in Christ Jesus
(NIV) Romans 1:16-17 “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes; first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.  17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith’.”

Christ’s followers can proclaim ‘my Redeemer lives!’
(NASB) Job 19:25-27 “As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.
26 ‘Even after my skin is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I shall see God;
27 Whom I myself shall behold,
And whom my eyes will see and not another.
My heart faints within me!”

Personal prayer to my personal Redeemer
(NASB) Psalm 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.”
