DEVOTIONALSYou Have Been Redeemed!! 1 Peter 1:18-19 18- Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, from your aimless conduct recieved by tradition from your fathers. 19- but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Amen! What a God we serve! Praise God we are redeemed!! re·deem Pronunciation Key (r-dm) tr.v. re·deemed, re·deem·ing, re·deems 1.To recover ownership of by paying a specified sum. 2.To pay off . 3.To set free,to save from a state of sinfulness and it's consequenses. We were all in debt with sin, a price that was to High for us to pay. It say's in Romans 6:23 23- For the wages for sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. That's exactly what we all deserve, Death and Hell!! but God loved us so much that he sent his only begotton son( John 3:16), Jesus Christ a.k.a. " the lamb with out blemish", to pay the price for our sin. He redeemed us from from the harsh end that we all were headed for. Notice, it say's lamb "WITHOUT" blemish, He was blameless, he was sinless and pure!! And it say's in Corinthians 5:21 that God made his son Jesus who knew no sin, become sin for us. wow! Love like this world has never seen before, pure unconditional love that see's past all of our sins. The love of Jesus Christ is greater than all our sins, so "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so" (Job 19:25).Let us not make this great price that was payed for our sins be in vain, live for Christ , live as if you have been redeemed, because you have been!!
