Redeemed by His blood

One major theme of redemption in the Bible is the idea of captivity.
The idea that we are trapped, enslaved, kidnapped, or held
captive, and so a price must be paid or a sacrifice made
in order to rescue us.
When it comes to our redemption through Christ, we
were in a similar situation to Israel. As Israel was
enslaved in Egypt, we were enslaved to sin and death.

Sin is not just an action, but also a tyrannical master (Rom 6:16)
The Bible says we are to glorify the One who has purchased us (1 Cor 7:23, 6:20)


Let us remember those old words:
Redeemed - how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; 
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am.
