Redemption in Christ!!!

Redemption defined by dictionary.com is an act of redeeming or the state of being redeemed, deliverance; rescue; or atonement for guilt; paying off, as of a mortgage, bond, or note. The completed work on the cross by our Lord and Savior redeemed us from the wages of sin which is death. When we go to work and leave at the end of the day there is a law that states that our employer owes us wages for those actions we committed. Therefore the scripture that says the wages of sin is death means that we have to die because the compensation for our sinful natures is death. This is the law of sinful nature. Jesus Christ was the only man who died in this world and had never sinned. He took on the sins of the world and when the law came to judge Him, the law for the first time found no sin in a man and therefore Jesus defeated the law. The same one that defeated this law now rests in all those who choose to have Him as their advocate and believe in His completed work. This is the redemption of man through Jesus Christ. The law has been broken and we have been set free by the atoning work of our Savior!!! If God is for us who can be against us!!! Have a wonderful life of redemption on purpose!!!!!

Romans 3

Righteousness Through Faith
21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,[i] through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. 29Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
