“In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7).

Redemption is a beautiful word. It is also a very costly word. As a believer, it is something that I ought to think about every single day. Indeed, salvation is freely offered. No one can successfully work for salvation, nor can they merit it in any way. Although it is offered freely, salvation is not inexpensive. For redemption to take place, the Lord Jesus left His glorious position in Heaven, came to this earth in His incarnation, shed His blood on the cross, and died for our sins. He rose again in great victory.  Wherever you go today and whatever you do, ever keep before yourself the following truth: “I was costly to the Lord Jesus. However, He decided that I was worth the cost, and He made the payment in full. Hence, I am redeemed! May my life reflect the change that comes in this marvelous redemption.”

For today: Enjoy the wonders of being one of the redeemed children of the Lord!
