CHAPTER 1
7 In him we have redemption through his blood,
TRUE REDEMPTION
We often hear the word redemption, maybe a sports team that has suffered a horrible defeat in a final, won the next year, they will say, it is redemption for them, to use the word in that context is not true.
Redemption means to buy back, the analogy to use is that of a slave being bought back from slavery. The children of Israel were a redeemed people, they had been bought back from slavery in Egypt.
The bible is the story of redemption, man was with God, then because of his sin, he lost his relationship with God, he was under the grip of sin, he was a slave to sin, but because of the shed blood of Jesus, we were bought back, we were redeemed.
Let us never forget the terrible price that was paid to buy us back, it was the precious blood of Jesus.
William Cowper puts it like this:
Oh, the precious blood of Jesus, that has earned my redemption, as every true believer can say, it is only by the precious blood that I am redeemed.
I am redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Hallelujah
God blesses you

7 the forgiveness of our trespasses
TOTAL FORGIVENESS
Not only are we bought back, but all of our sins, all our trespasses are forgiven.
We often think, how can God forgive every single sin, I've ever done.
Just imagine in a day, we commit ten sins every day and let's say, we live for seventy years, that's 255,000 individua sins and that's not counting the sins in our mind and our thought life, but God forgives every single one.
Forgiveness is total and complete, once God forgives our sins, he does not bring them up again, he completely forgets them.
Psalm 103, is a great place to go to remember these things
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so, the Lord shows compassion to those who fear
We are forgiven, all our sins are under the blood, all of our past guilt is washed away.
In a world that is full of guilt, the believer, can know the great fact that God has forgiven all his trespasses. everyone.. amen
God blesses you

Who am I?
I am an ordinary Christian just like you and me, I love to study the scriptures and share what God shows me. I am from the UK, and at present live in Nanjing China. I am an English teacher. I have been saved from my teenage years, am now eligible for Pension.
I believe the whole of the bible, especially love the five Solas of the reformation.
I am saved by GRACE alone by FAITH alone in CHRIST alone through the WORD OF GOD alone for the GLORY OF GOD alone.

William Cowper puts it like this:
- There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains. - The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in His day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away:
Washed all my sins away,
Washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Oh, the precious blood of Jesus, that has earned my redemption, as every true believer can say, it is only by the precious blood that I am redeemed.
I am redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Hallelujah
