REDEMPTION WAS THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
Death, Burial and Resurrection.
The Gospel event is Christ’s work that rescues us. By receiving and believing this Good News, the Corinthians were saved.
You are saved, if you hold firmly to the Good News. Take your stand on it. Never turn back, keep trusting in Christ.
At His death, Christ paid to ransom the slave from sin, because our condition before Jesus Christ’s death was sin slavery. Romans: 6: 17–18, “But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” A Christian is not a slave of sin any more, he must serve a new Master who is Jesus Christ, the redeemer. We belong to Jesus Christ not ourselves. 1st Corinthians 6:19 –20, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God. You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body”
Some claimed to accept the Gospel, but they also tried to impose “the law” given by Moses to the Jews or of their own tradition. They taught, “unless you are this or that, according to the custom taught by elders, you cannot be saved.” Acts 15: 1” Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers, “unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” In the past, some tried to earn favor with God by works (by keeping Old Testament rules that no longer applied to Christians) We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved. Acts 15:11, “No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
Romans 3: 28, “For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.”
Romans 5: 1, “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Ephesians 2: 8 – 9, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves. It is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”
The Lord’s Prayer says, “Your Kingdom come. » the word Kingdom does not refer to a place but to a “situation in which God is King and His will obeyed.”
Christ came and lived the perfect life. He died the perfect death, then rose to reign as the perfect King. We are « justified » made just and right with God by trusting that Good News. To rely on anything other than the Good News is to refuse and to loose God’s gift of Salvation. John 14:6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. » Acts 4: 12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
Galatians: 5: 4–6 “You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ, you have fallen away from grace. But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only King that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
