As Ruth rejoiced in her redemption through
Boaz so we too rejoice because, we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of our sins according to the
riches of His Grace (Eph. 1:7). Being redeemed, we are now
accepted in the Beloved, chosen by Him to live a life holy
and without blame before Him in love (Eph. 1:4,6).
JESUS OUR REDEEMER
Our state by nature was so fearful that no one but Jesus
could redeem us; for an infinite ransom was required: and
it was not only necessary that a ransom price should be
paid to satisfy divine justice but omnipotent power must
be exerted to rescue us from the dominion of satan and sin.
The blood of Jesus is the price of our redemption, and the
Spirit of God is the agent by Whom our deliverance is effected
as the Word of God is proclaimed. There is no other way
to be redeemed. We are redeemed unto God, and from all iniquity,
so that we shall, by and by, be entirely devoted to God,
and be free from all sins. The redemption that is in Christ
Jesus is effectual and all His redeemed ones shall celebrate
the wonders of His redeeming love forever. Many of them
are doing this now, as we read "And they sang a new
song saying: You are worthy to take the book and to open
the seals thereof, for You were slain, and have made us
unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the
earth', Beloved while we are still strangers here , with
our citizenship in heaven with Christ, let us as the redeemed
of the Lord say so with rejoicing, that we, too, shall soon
be redeemed from the very presence of sin forever with him.
