Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Romans 3.24

Because of the sin committed by Adam and Eve, we were forever lost and without any condition to change our own story. The sentence that weighed upon us was that we would go through all eternity in complete suffering. However, because of the sacrifice of Jesus’ death in the cross, we obtained the right to participate in this redemption, which is the most perfect work since the creation of the world.

There is only one condition for us to enjoy this redemption: to be justified. Although this word means that we will be made just, as if we had never sinned, it is not difficult to obtain such a blessing. From the Lord’s part, the debt that we had has already been paid. From our part, it is necessary that we convert and accept Jesus as our Saviour. As we are born again and remain steady in faith, our destiny will be in Heaven.

God does not look to our past, for He knows that it was sad and terrible. However, He looks to His Son in the cross, receiving from Him all sin, sickness, and suffering. Every time the devil goes before the Most High to accuse us, the Lord sees us covered by the blood of Christ that was shed at the Calvary, and at the same time, He looks to our future.

The Most High sent His Only Son to suffer in our place so that we might have been redeemed– bought back for Him. Those who resist the Truth do not enjoy this amazing and incomparable work and have no part in the blessed inheritance that will be given to us for all eternity. Those who are justified in Christ are made clean in all senses.

Once we are redeemed, there is no more condemnation in our record. With redemption, the accuser sees us as if we had never done any wrong, for he cannot see in us any wrong. In a way, the Lord also sees us in such a way, but positively, for He knows that we become blameless, irreproachable, and at the same time, His beloved children. The saved ones are ready to live with Jesus forever.

As we participate in the perfect work of the divine grace – redemption –, we are forgiven and cleansed from all wrongdoing. In redemption the cure for all infirmities, freedom from all vices, and peace, prosperity and a peaceful life are included. Redemption freed humanity from the attacks that the enemy tries against it.

Finally, it is important to remember that the redemption that is in Christ Jesus makes us worthy to participate in eternal life, never again serving the devil. All of this is true and can become true for you at this very moment. Do not pay any price to live decently, for Jesus has already paid with His own blood a high price for your deliverance.

In Christ, with love,
