Bible Verse of The Day – 4-22-22

Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace…

The mission of Christ here on earth was immeasurable in its scope; to save humanity from their sins.

As I read this verse, I noticed that the entirety of that mission was summed up here in one tidy little package.

In Him (Christ) we have redemption through His blood.

It is the blood of Christ that redeems us; washes us clean from our sins. We just need to apply it to ourselves by trusting Him and putting our faith in Him.

We can also have forgiveness for our sins through Christ by the simple act of sincerely repenting and asking for His forgiveness.

How could this be?

Because the death of Christ bought us (literally purchased us) out from under the burden (bonds, chains) of slavery. Slavery to what? Slavery to sin.

And if we look at the very last part of this verse, we are told how this is all made possible; according to the riches of His grace.

It is the grace of God that makes this possible. Without that grace, we would all be eternally condemned, without hope.

But by His grace we can be set free and become a child of God, allowing us to walk with Him in a relationship that will change us for eternity.

Amen.
