Benefits of Redemption

“But when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.” Galatians 4:4-5

You are a child of God because you have been redeemed. But Jesus accomplished much more when He paid your sin debt in order to buy you back for Himself. Your redemption means forgiveness. Because of your Redeemer, you stand before God fully justified.

“For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.” 1 Cor. 6:20

You are His special possession. Yours is the promise of a special inheritance, eternal fellowship with God, with your Redeemer.

“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.” Romans 8:16-17

Which of these benefits of redemption means the most to you today? Realizing you are a special possession to God can go a long way toward boosting damaged self-esteem. You are special to Him.
