Redemption through His Blood

Redemption through His Blood

 Ephesians 1:7-8, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence…”

               Hebrews 9:22 reminds us, “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”   So, there is no doubt that Christ had to die as a sacrifice for our sin.  It is by the unmerited grace of God that we have forgiveness of our sins.  Christian musicians must remember that Titus 3:5 declares it is, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost..” that we have salvation.

               We all have all needed the “washing of regeneration” that is made possible by the “redemption through his blood”.  Romans 3:23-25 attests to this fact, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God…”  Take some time today to be thankful for the unmerited salvation of Christ Jesus that has been made possible for you by his grace.

Prayer for the Day

I want to thank You Lord for forgiveness of sins and the “renewing of the Holy Ghost”.  You are a wonderful loving Savior.  Thank You for dying on a cruel cross to pay the penalty for my sin.  Lord, I am asking You to help me to never loose the wonder of the gift of salvation.  As I go through this day, help me to sing forth your high praises.  You are worthy of more praise than I am able to give to You.  Give me a thankful heart today.  This I am praying in Your wonderful name.  Amen
