Jesus' Death
As we look at the gospel, let's first look at
why Jesus came to earth to die:
In Him (in Jesus) we have redemption* through His
blood, the forgiveness of ou r
trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
Ephesians 1:7 (NAS)
The word redemption means to be released or set free
as a result of a payment of a ransom...or to be
delivered or set free from torture. As we saw
earlier in this lesson, when we sin we become
separated from God and, as a result, we are to
receive the penalty that sin pays...the penalty of
death.
Question:
According to Ephesians 1:7, when we are in Jesus
we have redemption* through what?
