• The theme of the entire Bible is human redemption • The purpose of all God has done through Christ was to redeem man • A summary of the primary features involved in God's plan for redemption is found in Eph 1: 7

• MEANING OF REDEMPTION - To take by purchase, to buy, to ransom – Sinner is in bondage to sin Rom 6: 16 -18 – Redemption occurs when there is forgiveness of sins Eph 1: 7 • Redemption & forgiveness not synonyms • Yet no person is redeemed except where forgiveness has occurred • Each stress a different thought yet both have to do with salvation

• CAUSE OF REDEMPTION – Sin separated man from God Isa 59: 1 -2; Eph 2: 12; Ezek 18: 20; Rom 6: 23 – Man is hopeless and helpless in and of himself Jer 10: 23 – Because of His grace, God provided a way for man to escape spiritual death • Eph 2: 1 -8 explains the cause of God's action in behalf of the sinner • Out of this attitude came the "gift"

• CAUSE OF REDEMPTION – Truly the cause of God's action was his "grace" • God's justice demanded death Exek 18: 20 • God is both just and the justifier Rom 3: 26 – Grace not only factor in salvation • If so, there would be universal salvation because God loves all Jhn 3: 16; Titus 2: 11 -12 • Yet all men will not be saved Matt 7: 13 -27 – Grace is God's part in man's redemption

• COST OF REDEMPTION – A ransom had to be paid - a purchase price • Wages of sin is death Rom 6: 23 • Yet God wants the sinner to live 2 Pet 3: 9 – Only thing that could satisfy the demands was a perfect sacrifice - Christ's blood Heb 10: 4; 9: 12 -14; 1 Pet 1: 18 -19 – Blood is not applied directly or physically • Benefits received upon obedience to Christ Heb 5: 89; Rom 6: 3 -4 • Some claim cleansing by the blood while refusing to obey Christ Matt 7: 21 -23 – Obedience is man's part in redemption

• LOCATION OF REDEMPTION – "In whom" expresses the where of redemption Eph 1: 3; 2 Cor 5: 17 – How does one enter "into Christ" so as to be redeemed? • Why would any sinner not be satisfied to allow Christ to tell him the "where" and "when" 1 Pet 4: 11 • Scriptures are clear on "how" if we believe them Gal 3: 26 -27; Rom 6: 3 -4 into – All New Testament conversions show baptism into Christ to be the final act in God's plan for man's redemption (salvation) Mk 16: 16; Acts 22: 16 – Then there must be faithfulness on the part of the redeemed Matt 10: 22; Rev 2: 10

• Have you been redeemed? • In Christ you can find forgiveness because grace provided the ransom through His blood • Will you enter into union with Christ by being baptized into His death, into the benefits of His blood, and thereby be redeemed? Rom 6: 3 -4
