In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
In Jesus we have redemption. Redemption includes the thought of our salvation and deliverance. Because Jesus took our sins upon Himself, and suffered the awful penalty for them, we can go free. We do not have to “pay for them” ourselves. Jesus has redeemed us. Because He shed His blood we have forgiveness for all our sins and a vital relationship with God our Father.
The Message Bible says: The Son who got us out of the pit we were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating.
Jesus is the one who forgives our sins and sets us free. We need to accept that great work of forgiveness for ourselves then grant it to others when they have sinned against us. We also need to apply it to ourselves when we recognize just how human we really are at times.
In Christ Jesus I have redemption. I am delivered from the power of sin because I am forgiven.
