Refresh Button
Who doesn’t want to live a redeemed life? Well, unless we understand what redeemed means then maybe that question is hard to answer. So let’s have a little Q&A.
What does redeemed mean?
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary redeemed means:
- to make something that is bad, unpleasant, better or more acceptable
- to exchange something
- to buy back something
What does this have to do with me?
We were unpleasant to say the least. Lost in sin. In a word, bad. God, seeing our unpleasant, lost in sin, and bad state sent Someone better and more acceptable as an exchange for our unpleasant, lost in sin, and bad state. His Son’s name – Jesus.
God bought our life back by the giving of Son so that we can live eternally with Him.
If you believe this simple truth and have confessed your sin to God then you are saved—you are redeemed.
How do I live redeemed?
- Believe that are and live like you believe.
- Leave the pains and failures of the past in past.
- Live God’s Word. Let it shape your present and create your future.
