JESUS PAID THE PRICE OF OUR REDEMPTION
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. What Jesus Did
a) There are three words that we can easily commit to memory: perfection, punishment, price; which outline the wonderful things that Jesus did by dying on the cross. These are necessary things which we could not possibly have done for ourselves.
2. Jesus Paid The Price Of Our Redemption
a) Jesus paid the price for us which we could not give in exchange for our own souls..
b) God demands even more than perfection and punishment. He also demands a price be paid. When we look at our ruined lives we can see that we no longer belong to God, we belong to Satan. We must say with Paul, "I am carnal, sold under sin" (Romans 7:14). Of course, God did not sell us, we sold ourselves like the people of old who "sold themselves to do evil" (2 Kings 17:17, 1 Kings 21:20).
c) Only those who belong to Satan face the eternal punishment prepared for Satan! Why should we share Satan's destiny if he does not own us? We became his possession when we sinned, and God recognizes that.
