Redemption

 "For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy."

HEBREWS 10:14 

The great truth in redemption is that Christ Jesus has already absolved the world and conquered the evil one. It is already done. Those who accept the Lord Jesus as the sinless risen Lord that he is - recognize the truth of the cross.

It is at the cross where sin was beaten - where the Lord triumphed over evil and gave himself willingly as the only perfect human atonement for every sin of man. One man lived - died and rose again in purity and love. He is Lord. He is alive and his name is Jesus Christ.

Redemption only comes through accepting what Jesus did on the cross. There is no line of being sorry that will make you right or save you from death. There is no acceptable sacrifice that can be brought before God - as he gave the world his only son Jesus - to be the sacrifice for all people. It is the identification with the death of Christ through acceptance of what he did that allows people to be reinstated into the covenant of God. 

We are forgiven by God only because of and through the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed at the cross. To be forgiven by God by the blood of Christ  - you must therefore believe that Jesus Christ went to the cross, bled to death and rose again so that you may live through his living and Holy Spirit.
