“In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians 1:7





The word Redemption means Salvation, rescue, deliverance, repurchase, buyback, the act of redeeming or the state of being redeemed, a repossession or repurchase, a release or rescue as from bondage of sin, the payment or fulfilment of an obligation or pledge, the exchange or conversion.





The fall of man handed man over to Satan and everything he has to offer - sin, sickness, poverty, headache, lust, death etc. So with sin came everything that related to death because the wages of sin is death. The good news is that it did not end there. If it did, man would have been forever damned and doomed, but the scriptures go on to tell us that the free gift, which we received through our redemption, is righteousness – rescue, deliverance, right standing. Thank God for the cross; this gift is free – totally and completely free. You don’t have to pay anything for your salvation – Jesus paid it all. All you have to do is to receive this awesome gift from God.





Our text declares that in Christ we have our redemption through His blood the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. In other words, we have been bought back from Satan and all that he has to offer mankind. In view of the full price paid for your redemption, you must reject anything negative, anything contrary to the good things of life that are yours by the reason of redemption.




You must open your mouth and declare to the devil that you cannot accept his offer, let him know that everything he has to offer has been paid for in the redemption. Stand your ground and walk in the fullness of your redemption.
