redemption - Biblical Teaching

Redemption can be thought of like a coupon. Someone else already paid for the item & gave us the coupon. Then we give that coupon to the store in exchange for the item. Jesus paid the price for our sins & gave a coupon to every person on earth. But to receive the salvation He purchased for us we have to offer God His blood on behalf of our specific sins. Jesus buys us back even if we are completely used up, damaged, destroyed, & broken. Then He makes us whole, complete, & righteous before He gives us back to God. Wouldn’t it be a shame not to exchange that coupon?

1 Samuel 18

After David defeats Goliath and begins winning more battles, everyone starts praising Him. Additionally, Saul’s son and daughter also love David. All of this makes Saul very jealous and he starts scheming against David. But with every effort, Saul fails and David grows even more successful and loved. The Lord is for David and now against Saul.

If He is for you, then no one can stand against you. But if He is against you, then you are fighting a losing battle. God was for David and He made him successful in everything he did. But when Saul grew jealous and tried to destroy David, God went against Saul and wouldn’t let any of his schemes succeed. We want God on our side. But the only way to ensure that is to be on His side. We must align ourselves with Him. Then, He will be our greatest ally. But if we go against Him or His people then He will be against us.
