6.4 You have full redemption in Christ Jesus

As a teenager, I used to do street witnessing using the 4 Spiritual Laws from Campus Crusade for Christ. In the first spiritual law, I used to quote Romans 3:23 – “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” Today, I want to continue reading into the next verse; a powerful verse.

(Rom 3:23-24)
…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the REDEMPTION that is IN CHRIST Jesus…

It says that we have been freely justified (made righteous) through the redemption that is IN CHRIST Jesus.

The basis of our redemption is by His grace alone for we could not redeem ourselves as spiritual bankrupts. Jesus came to give us grace that we did not deserve.

Through His grace, we have been fully redeemed. When we were laden with debt, He paid the full debt of our sins. In fact, He overpaid to redeem us because He loved us.

Today, we know that we have redemption in Christ Jesus. It is not a partial redemption; it is a full redemption. In Him, all our sins have been nailed to the cross for eternity.

(Col 2:13)
And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having FORGIVEN you ALL TRESPASSES.

It is not just redemption from sin, but from the curses that come along with sin – the curses of the law.

(Galatians 3:13)
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)…

Today, you can call Him your Redeemer. You can call upon His name when we are confronted by the burdens of condemnation or the symptoms of the curse. We have full redemption in Christ.
