MEligion, Part 4: MEdemption

Victory Fellowship Church Podcast

To redeem something is to gain possession of it in exchange for payment. The Bible says that Jesus redeemed us – He has gained possession of us, and the payment was His blood.

Hebrews 9:12 “With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.”
MEdemption is when you try to pay your own way. The problem is, you don’t have the right kind of currency, and you don’t have enough currency to redeem yourself.
The transaction is complete and you have your receipt—God wrote it down in His word, and its just as the scriptures said. If you or anyone else doubts that the purchase has been made, look at the receipt.
Have you received the pardon God has granted, or are you still sitting in the prison of sin, guilt, shame, pride, and self-righteousness?

Are you trying to pay for your own MEdemption?
