Sermon Text: Ephesians 1: 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Sermon Title: The Non-Redeemable Zone

Point 1: Accept the fact you have been forgiven. Vs. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Definition: Forgiven the forgiveness of sins—Greek, “the remission of our transgressions”: not merely forgiveness…it includes not only deliverance from sin’s penalty, but from its pollution and enslaving power, negatively; AND the reconciliation of an offended God, AND a satisfaction unto a just God, positively. Colossians 1: ^13–14God rescued us from dead-end alleys and dark dungeons. He’s set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much, the Son who got us out of the pit we were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating

 

Point 2: The verdict is in not guilty

Definition: redemption—Greek, “our (literally, ‘the’) redemption”; the redemption which is the grand subject…namely, from the power, guilt, and penal consequences of sin (Mt 1:21). If a man were unable to redeem himself from being a bond-servant, his kinsman might redeem him (Le 25:48).

Point 3: What’s His is mine and what’s mine is His. Fully Vested vs. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of

The payment  through his blood—(Eph 2:13); as the instrument; the propitiation, that is, the consideration for which He, who was justly angry (Is 12:1), becomes a substitute the price paid to divine justice for our sin

Point 4: Freedom to live a new and different life. I am a work of art. Ephesians 2: 10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Jesus Christ to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do

“IN CHRIST WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD…” declares the Word of God. (Ephesians 1:7)
