ENSURING OUR REDEMPTION: IT’S BASED ON REPENTANCE TOWARD GOD AND FAITH TOWARD OUR SAVIOUR-LORD JESUS CHRIST!
“And how I kept back NOTHING THAT WAS PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
Ensuring our REDEMPTION into reality and tangibility is possible as we endeavour to actualise, enact and authenticate it in the set principle of God’s WORD, which is – when we acknowledge with a genuine heart of REPENTANCE TOWARD Father God and FAITH TOWARD our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – in the illumination of the Holy writ without controversy to the reality that brings about our REDEMPTION.
“And without CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.
And REDEMPTION is to ALL and it’s – PURE, GENUINE, TANGIBLE, REACHABLE, COMPLETE, WHOLESOME, LIVEABLE, INDISCRIMINATE, UNLIMITED, UNRESTRICTED, UNBIASED, UNHYPOCRITICAL, AVAILABLE, LOVABLE, ADMISSIBLE and such like with FULL ETERNITY ENDORSEMENT.
Our REDEMPTION in Father God in Christ Jesus stead, has brought us to the point to say today and always and for all eternity – that WE ARE OF GOD.
“YE ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6
And Father God by His principle of various Scriptural context, had resolved and taken the responsibility and accountability to ensure that in our REDEMPTION, that He:
** Loved us
** Saved us
** Forgiven us
** Qualified us
** Redeemed us
** Justified us
** Acquitted us
** Called us
** Predestined us
** Translated us
** Conveyed us
** Transformed us
** Chosen us
*” Glorified us
** Foreknown us
** Made us
** . . . many such like . .
Therefore, it’s time to raise your head up, shoulders highs and on your high heels of FAITH, knowing that you are now born of God by VIRTUE of the REDEMPTION deed that’s done as a consequence of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus – crucifixion and death, burial and resurrection, ascension and Enthronement – in love, for us all from every kindred, tongue, nation and people. Revelation 5:9-10.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED US, and WASHED US from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE US kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were NOT a people, but ARE now the people of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.
“. . . Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made KNOWN unto US the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath PURPOSED in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12.
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED US to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED US from the power of darkness and CONVEYED US into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV.
“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14.
“For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. 14 For the LOVE of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 and that he died for all, that they which LIVE should not henceforth LIVE unto themselves, but unto him which DIED for them, and ROSE again. 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more” 2 Corinthians 5:13-16.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I PREACHED unto you, which also ye have RECEIVED, and wherein ye STAND; 2 by which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I DELIVERED unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that Christ DIED for our SINS according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 and that he was SEEN of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 after that, he was SEEN of above five hundred BRETHREN at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was SEEN of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was SEEN of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.
