Big word: Redemption: means the act of redeeming, to get back by payment:
We are all created with a purpose fro relationship with Our Creator God. But His standards are higher, than any other standards.His standards are impossible to fulfill, without His help, and without His help, we will always fall short.
Falling short of the standards Our Creator God sets, is sin, and can be called 'Missing the Mark'.
Isaiah 55 verse 8 and 9:
V8: "'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways'. This is The Lord's declaration".
V9: "For as heaven is higher than earth, so My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts".
For the times we fail to reach, the standard, He has for our lives, we 'sin' miss 'the mark', we were created to reach. Not one of us, has met His standard.
Romans 3 verse 23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God".
Redemption comes at a price, Our Lord and Our Friend paid the price for our Redemption on the cross. Ephesians 2 verse 13 to 18:
Walking in relationship was something we would always fall sort of, but God sent part of Himself, His Only Begotten Son Christ Jesus, to pay the price, none of us could pay to meet that 'Mark' we were created for, to live in relationship with Our Creator God.
God has given "any whosoever' an invitation and choice to come, and accept the "Redemption' {the price} His Son Christ Jesus paid on the cross. John 3 v 16:
It is a choice, to come into fellowship and relationship with Our Creator God. We don't become unable to 'sin', but we have the help, His Help, for which we were always suppose to have.
Redemption comes at a price, to Our Lord and Our Friend.
Acceptance is our choice, but the choice, is to good to pass up, eternal destiny, eternal purpose, eternal fellowship with A loving God, Who is always there to help.
God Bless.
