The Blood of Christ
Redemption Through His Blood
Purchased with Blood
Description
Redemption means to purchase back, to liberate by paying a price. We were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver and gold but with the precious blood of Christ. His blood is the ransom price that freed us from slavery to sin. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. The church was purchased with His own blood. This redemption is eternal—not temporary like the redemption pictured in Old Testament sacrifices. Christ's blood secures our freedom forever.
