FREE AT LAST

INTRODUCTION:

MARTIN LUTHER KING GOES DOWN IN HISTORY WITH A FAMOUS QUOTE, FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY WE FREE AT LAST.

MARTIN QUOTE HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH EQUALITY.

BUT JESUS HAD A QUOTE THAT WOULD FREE US IN LIFE AND DEATH.

IF THE SON THEREFORE SHALL MAKE YOU FREE, YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED.

TODAY I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT

THE BLESSINGS OF REDEMPTION.

THE WORK OF REDEMPTION.

THE COMPLETION OF REDEMPTION.

A. THE BLESSINGS OF REDEMPTION.

Ephesians 1:3–6 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved:”

WHAT ARE THE BLESSINGS OF REDEMPTION.

THAT OUR BLESSINGS COMES FROM HEAVEN AND IT’S ONLY THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. ALSO OUR BLESSINGS ARE SPIRITUAL.

IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN THAN THE ONLY BLESSINGS YOU SHOULD SEEK SHOULD COME FROM ABOVE. STOP LOOKING FOR BLESSINGS OUTSIDE OF GOD.

HE CHOSE US IN HIM, MEANING YOU WAS IN THE ELECT BEFORE YOU WAS FORMED IN YOUR MOTHER’S WOMB. SOME OF US NOT GRATEFUL ENOUGH THAT GOD CHOSE US WHEN WE DID NOT CHOOSE HIM.

GOD ADOPTED US, GOD GIVE US OUR SPIRITUAL BIRTH RIGHT, SO WE COULD BE INCLUDED IN THE FAMILY OF GOD.

GOD ACCEPTED US, HOW GOD ACCEPTED US WAS THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

THE WORK OF REDEMPTION.

Ephesians 1:7 “in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”

WHAT IS THE WORK OF REDEMPTION? TO BE REDEEMED, MEANING TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL STATE BEFORE YOU FALL. BEING RELEASE FROM SLAVERY.

THE FORGIVENESS HAPPEN THE MOMENT JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD ON CALVARY CROSS.

FORGIVE MEANS MEANS TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO PUNISH SOMEONE FOR A TRANSGRESSION.

BECAUSE OF JESUS DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION GOD CHANGED HIS MIND TOWARDS OUR SINS. GOD JUST DEALT WITH IT THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.

THE WORK OF REDEMPTION IS THE DELIVERANCE OF CHRISTIANS FROM SIN AND IT’S CONSEQUENCES.

WHY ARE SOME OF US STILL LIVING LIKE WE ARE UNDER A SLAVE MASTER WHEN GOD HAS SET US FREE.

GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR US HIS WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING SO THAT WE NO LONGER HAS TO BE GOVERN BY RULES AND REGULATIONS, BUT BY HIS GRACE.

1 Corinthians 6:20 “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

C. THE COMPLETION OF REDEMPTION

Ephesians 1:8–10 “wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he had purposed in himself: that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”

THE COMPLETION OF REDEMPTION IS THE FINISH WORK OF CHRIST DYING ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS.

IT IS NOTHING ELSE JESUS HAVE TO DO OR NOTHING ELSE YOU CAN DO.

IT WAS COMPLETE THE MOMENT JESUS SAID IT IS FINISH.

THE MOMENT YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST, YE WHERE SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE.

THE COMPLETION OF OUR REDEMPTION OCCURS WHEN WE RECEIVE OUR GLORIFIED RESURRECTED BODIES AND GOD MAKES ALL THINGS NEW.

THEN WE ALL CAN SAY FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY WE FREE AT LAST.
