Understanding the Depth of Redemption in Ephesians 1:7

Paul’s letters to the church in Ephesians lays a foundation for the power of salvation that is achieved through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

• The forgiveness of sins that we experience as Christians came through the blood of Christ that as shed on the cross.

  • Jesus lived a perfect life, and became a perfect sacrifice for the brokenness of mankind

  • Without the shedding of blood, there would be NO forgiveness of sins.

    • And without the forgiveness we would NOT be able to approach our holy and perfect God.

Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection made a WAY for us to have a RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM!

Jesus gave His life once and for ALL, meaning He doesn’t have to die again.

• ALL of your sins past, present, future, are ALREADY forgiven through Jesus!

  • Nothing can separate you from the love God has for you!

Paul says that all of this is in line with God’s grace and His promises.

• All throughout scripture, God PROMISES to redeem His people.

• He promises to rescue them and free them from their bondage to sin and brokenness

GOD ACCOMPLISHED ALL OF THIS THROUGH JESUS!

Think about God’s great love andd grace for you. Spend some talking to God, thanking Him for what He does and Has done for you. Remind yourself of God’s promises. Ask Him to fill you with knowledge of His love and grace.
