Kenneth Hagin 6th September 2024 Devotional – Faith Food Daily Devotional Message for Friday
TOPIC: Redeemed
In whom [Jesus Christ] we have redemption through his blood . . . . — EPHESIANS 1:7
Webster defines the word “redeem” as (1) To buy back; (2) To free from captivity by payment of ransom.
To walk in the highest kind of faith, you must know the reality of your redemption in Christ not as a doctrine, a philosophy, or a creed, but as an actual redemption out of the authority of Satan.
When Adam fell, mankind went into captivity.
But God had a plan — a great plan of redemption! And He sent the Lord Jesus Christ to consummate it. (Webster defines “consummate” as complete in every detail: perfect.)
Now God’s Word tells us, “In whom [Jesus Christ] we have redemption . . . .” How thankful we can be that we’re not trying to get redeemed. We already have redemption! We are redeemed and delivered now from the authority of darkness; from the power of Satan!
Confession: I am redeemed! In Christ I have redemption! Through His blood I have redemption! I’m not trying to get it; it’s mine. I have it now! Jesus bought me back. Jesus freed me from captivity by the payment of a ransom — His own life!
