Redemption means Freed by Ransom, or Released by payment
- We are redeemed presently (freed from guilt and shame, received forgiveness of trespasses Eph 1:7)
- True because we have believed the good news of Jesus Christ, and been sealed by the Holy Spirit (Spirit) for a future redemption that will be complete (Body and Soul). - (Eph 1:13-14)
- Yet our souls is impacted now by the Holy Spirit living within us (Eph 4:30, Luke 21:28).
- We have been ransomed from the futile ways of our ancestors.
- The Spirit convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). The only sin is not believing God's only Son (John 16:9) as evidenced by our attitudes and actions
- If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. John 15:22
- If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father. John 15:24
