REDEEMED

Redeemed, How I love to proclaim it! Redeemed, by the Blood of the Lamb!

Psalm 49:15, But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

My Mom, read a lot. I ran across one of her devotional books that had multiple poems in it recently and was encouraged. She had taken one of those poems and wrote out Scripture to it. To started with Psalm 49:15 and went from there basically sharing the Gospel. It was a blessing to me to see how she thought through each verse coming to the blessed hope in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18:

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Do you have that blessed hope? Have you been redeemed? Why don’t you say so?

REDEEMED HOW I LOVED TO PROCLAIM IT

If you’re saved, who have you told that you are?

Ephesians 1:7, In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Yes, I do love to proclaim how the Lord Jesus redeemed my wretched soul from a devil’s hell. While Jesus was on the Cross, He proclaimed, “It is finished!” Everything that needed to be done for our salvation was accomplished when Jesus got up out of the grave! What He did that day, He did for me and He will do it for you as well! There is no greater story to be told!
