God is a God of Abundance (pt 5)

God takes nine blessings with him when he goes into our hearts.
#8: Jesus brings redemption indide of us.

1. Redemption means that we are set free from being a slave.
Ever since the sin of Adam and Eve, we have been slaves to the devil. No matter how hard we try, we cannot be free. But Jesus, when He died on the cross, paid the price for our sin and set us free.
On the cross Jesus said, â??it is finished.â?? At that moment, you were taken care of, every problem, every sin... He has set you free from that slavery. He has set you free from slavery to sin.

Sin = rejecting God, denying God, living life our way.

Now Jesus paid the price for us to be set free from those things. When Jesus died on the cross He said, â??It is finished.â??

Romans 3:24

2. Redemption means that the price has been paid.
Jesus paid the price. The only thing that we need to do is receive the freedom, by our faith.
Some people try to be humble, so they always say, â??Oh Lord, I am a sinner.â?? It is as if they are proud of their sin, their rebellion, their anger, their pride. Sin is nothing to be proud of. God said He forgave our sin and He set us free from slavery. Stop claiming your sin. Stop being boastful about your sin, your stubbornness, your pride. It is an abomination to God. As born again believers, we need to stop abusing ourselves and calling ourselves sinners. The holiness and righteousness of God is in us. The reason we still call ourselves sinners is that we are very negative about ourselves. We need to watch how we speak and think about ourselves. Negativity about ourselves comes from Satan. When we are negative about ourselves, we open the door to Satan. By the blood of Jesus we are set free from sin, from slavery. We have been set free. It is finished. We need to keep looking up to Jesus and His cross.

Ephesians 1:7

In the Old Testament, they made an animal sacrifice to take care of their sins. Jesus shed His blood to cover all of our sin.
