REDEMPTION • MEANING OF REDEMPTION -To take by purchase, to buy, to ransom • Sinner is in bondage to sin Rom 6:16-18 • Redemption occurs when there is forgiveness of sins Eph 1:7 • Redemption & forgiveness not synonyms • Yet no person is redeemed except where forgiveness has occurred • Each stress a different thought yet both have to do with salvation

  3. REDEMPTION • CAUSE OF REDEMPTION • Sin separated man from God Isa 59:1-2; Eph 2:12; Ezek 18:20; Rom 6:23 • Man is hopeless and helpless in and of himself Jer 10:23 • Because of His grace, God provided a way for man to escape spiritual death • Eph 2:1-8 explains the cause of God's action in behalf of the sinner • Out of this attitude came the "gift"

REDEMPTION • CAUSE OF REDEMPTION • Truly the cause of God's action was his"grace" • God's justice demanded death Exek 18:20 • God is both just and the justifier Rom 3:26 • Grace not only factor in salvation • If so, there would be universal salvation because God loves all Jhn 3:16; Titus 2:11-12 • Yet all men will not be saved Matt 7:13-27 • Grace is God's part in man's redemption

  6. REDEMPTION • LOCATION OF REDEMPTION • "In whom" expresses the where of redemption Eph 1:3; 2Cor 5:17 • How does one enter "into Christ" so as to be redeemed? • Why would any sinner not be satisfied to allow Christ to tell him the "where" and "when" 1Pet 4:11 • Scriptures are clear on "how" if we believe them Gal 3:26-27; Rom 6:3-4 • All New Testament conversions show baptism into Christ to be the final act in God's plan for man's redemption (salvation) Mk 16:16; Acts 22:16 • Then there must be faithfulness on the part of the redeemed Matt 10:22; Rev 2:10 into

  7. REDEMPTION • Have you been redeemed? • In Christ you can find forgiveness because grace provided the ransom through His blood • Will you enter into union with Christ by being baptized into His death, into the benefits of His blood, and thereby be redeemed? Rom 6:3-4
