Ephesians 1:7 says In Him we have redemption through His
blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.
Here are some pretty churchy terms
that we use, and maybe we sometimes forget what they mean.
Redemption – he bought us with a
price – we were enslaved to sin and he redeemed us – bought us back – so that
we could be set free from sin (all of those actions and attitudes that are not
like Him).
Trespasses – that’s another word
for sin. When we trespass against
another, we sin against him/her by doing or saying or thinking wrong about
them.
Grace – there it is again. That thing that sent Jesus to the cross to
die for us. He redeemed us, forgave us
of our sins, all because of grace that he freely gives.
We need to remind ourselves of this
often – the grace of God that forgives us and sets us free to live.
