Redeemed from "summary" of I Am by Matt Fry
The concept of being redeemed is at the core of our identity as believers. It is not just a theological term to be studied or debated; it is a reality to be lived out each day. To be redeemed means that we have been bought back from a life of sin and brokenness, and now belong to God. We are no longer slaves to our past mistakes and failures, but free to walk in the freedom and grace of Christ. Being redeemed is not just a one-time event that happened when we accepted Jesus as our Savior; it is an ongoing process of transformation. It is a daily choice to surrender our will and desires to God, allowing Him to work in us and through us. This process can be painful and challenging at times, as we are forced to confront our own weaknesses and shortcomings. But it is also a journey of hope and restoration, as we experience the power of God's love and forgiveness in our lives. One of the key aspects of being redeemed is understanding our true value and worth in God's eyes. We are not defined by our past mistakes or by what others think of us; we are defined by our identity as children of God. We are loved unconditionally and completely by our Heavenly Father, who has paid the ultimate price to redeem us from sin and death. As we grasp the depth of God's love for us, we are able to extend that love to others. Being redeemed means that we are called to live lives of compassion, grace, and forgiveness towards those around us. We are to be beacons of light in a dark world, pointing others towards the hope and redemption found in Christ.- Being redeemed is not just a theological concept; it is a reality that shapes our everyday lives. It is a journey of transformation, restoration, and love that defines who we are as believers. As we embrace our identity as redeemed children of God, we are called to live out that truth in our words, actions, and relationships.
