Sermon on Redemption | Redemption Through His Blood

Sermon on Redemption

Introduction:

1. Ephesians 1:7 sets our topic forward: Redemption in Christ! Redemption through His blood.

2. An Old Testament topic (Job 19:25, as well as the New Testament.

3. Definition: a “buying back … setting free … deliverance.”

I.   See How Christ Is Highlighted In Early Verses Of Ephesians 1.

A. Paul, apostle of Christ, to those faith in Christ (v. 1).

B. Grace and peace from the Christ (v. 2).

C. All spiritual blessings are in the Christ (v. 3).

D. We are chosen in Christ (v. 4).

E. We are predestinated to be children by Christ (v. 5).

F. We are made acceptable to God through Christ – beloved (v. 6).

G. And, redemption is in Christ (v. 7).

II.  For Our Salvation, A Redemption Was Needed.

A. Sin entered the world (Gen. 3); all have sinned (Rom. 3:23).

B. Forgiveness of sins is what our text promises.

C. It is in the Christ; hence, our Redeemer.

III. The Points In That Process, Designed By God.

A. Just here, remember that God had initiated sacrifice for sin, with the blood of the thing sacrificed being shed for men.

1. We see it first in Genesis 4:4 and Abel.

2. In time, even idolatrous systems picked it up.

B. So God planned redemption in the Christ (Rom. 3:23-24).

C. The plan: Christ should taste death for every man (Heb. 2:9), and thus He has rendered a benefit for all man.

D. He, then, “gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, to purify us” (Titus 2:14).

1. To deliver us from this present evil world (Gal. 1:4).

2. Hence, redeemed, and in that being “called out.”

E. In that sacrifice, that death, the shedding of blood.

1. The long-established law of God: Hebrews 9:22.

2. Redeemed, not with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19).

F. He, acting as Redeemer, obtained eternal redemption for us (Heb. 9:12).

Conclusion:

1. The price has been paid for your redemption. We have redemption through His blood.

2. The gospel, the “good news” of that redemption!

3. It’s appeal for your faith, repentance, confession and baptism into Christ, that the blood will cleanse you.

4. If a wayward child, that blood awaits your return to God.

5. Come to obey your Redeemer!
