We were once held captive by the enemy, but Jesus paid the ultimate ransom price on the Cross to buy us back. Understand the incredible power of His blood which grants us true redemption and the forgiveness of all our sins.
“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” (Psalm 107:2)
This statement of Scripture is one that concerns what the blood of Jesus does for us as believers. Let us also look at this verse in Ephesians:
“In Him [Christ] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
Notice, first of all, that to receive these benefits, we have to be in Christ. We have to be true believers in Christ. When we are in Christ, the first thing that we gain is redemption through His blood.
To redeem means “to buy back,” or “to pay a ransom price.” We were formerly in the hands of the devil and we belonged to him. But Jesus paid the ransom price of His blood on the cross to buy us back.
*Prayer Response
Thank You, Lord, for the blood of Jesus. I proclaim that through His blood, I have been ransomed—bought back—and am a true believer in Christ. Through the blood of Jesus, I am redeemed out of the hand of the devil. Amen.
