The Plan of Redemption
But when the
right time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent Him to buy freedom for us who were
slaves to the law, so that He could adopt us as His very own children. And because we are His children, God has sent
the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own
child. And since you are His child, God
has made you His heir.--------Galatians 4:4-7
It has been
the desire of Almighty God to have a close intimate relationship with the crown
of His creation, mankind. And from the
very beginning of creation up to this very day, that desire has never
diminished. He still has a deep desire
for a close intimate relationship with mankind.
The problem
being is that mankind sinned against God, he disobeyed the Creator and had to
be disciplined. That was when the fate of mankind changed. However, the desire for a close, intimate
relationship with His own creation was still deep in the heart of Almighty God,
and God being a RIGHTEOUS God, came up with a set of laws to govern mankind’s
behavior, but the law could not and did not make mankind RIGHT with God.
So God
brought about the plan of REDEMPTION for the souls of mankind and to make a way
for mankind to be made RIGHT with Him.
This is His plan: When the right
time came, God sent His Son to be the ONE and ONLY sacrifice for the sins of
ALL mankind, He was born of a woman, He came in the flesh, in order to be able
to relate to mankind and to purchase or REDEEM mankind from their sins and to
release them from the bondage of the law.
Then those
who ACCEPTED His plan of REDEMPTION was adopted as God’s own Children and
became a part of His family. And because
they became a part of His family, God sent His Holy Spirit to indwell them and
gave them the right to call Him “Abba, Father” which is a very intimate and
endearing title. Thus mankind’s fate
changed, all because of God’s plan of REDEMPTION.
Those who
have been REDEEMED by the shed blood of God’s ONE and ONLY Son, Jesus Christ,
has gone from being an unrighteous sinner to a REDEEMED Child and Heir of the
Almighty God.
If you have
not been REDEEMED, then you are not part of God’s family. You are still an unrighteous sinner in need
of the Savior to set you free from the bondage of your sinful nature and to be
made right with God, in order to have a close intimate relationship with Him
and to be able to call Him “Abba, Father.”
You have the
opportunity right NOW to be one of the REDEEMED, by: CONFESSING your sins to God and asking Him
for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU
and is ALIVE, in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, then ACCEPT
His gift of SALVATION and become part of God’s family and one of His heirs. Do it NOW while you STILL can. He’s waiting!!!
