REDEMPTION IS GOD’S NATURE IN US

“To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues” 1Corinthians 12:10.

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: The Spirit of discernment perceives the activities of the spirit.

Redemption is the act of atoning for a fault or mistake. It also means to repurchase, deliver or rescue. It is seen as the idea of making something or someone better or more acceptable. It is also the exchange of something by using something else of value.

Romans 5:6-8 says; “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die, yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to ^die.  But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”.Apostle Paul continued; “For if we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement” (Romans 5:10-11). To be reconciled unto God was made possible by the death of His son and this reconciliation was done through Jesus, by His death on the cross. Apostle Paul says that; “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God” (Romans 5:9). When Apostle Paul said we are saved from God’s wrath, he reveals that it was by Jesus’ blood that we were not only redeemed but we were justified. God looks at us as having the same righteousness as Jesus has.

Therefore, all you need as a believer had already been put in place by Christ. Jesus redeemed you by paying the ransom on the cross of Calvary and by His death, He had repurchased you. The devil has no right to keep you bound because Jesus died for you. “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation” (Hebrews 9:28). As many that look upon Him shall He appear without sin. Therefore, as you look upon Him, you shall take over territories.
