How Did Jesus Redeem Us?

Philippians 25-8

• 5Your attitude should be the same as that of
  Christ Jesus     6Who, being in very nature
  God,        did not consider equality with God
  something to be grasped,     7but made himself
  nothing,        taking the very nature of a
  servant,        being made in human likeness.
      8And being found in appearance as a man,
         he humbled himself        and became
  obedient to death--           even death on a
  cross!

6
How Did Jesus Redeem Us?
He humbled, that is, emptied Himself of the full
use of His divine power that was His and became
fully a human being.

With What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
10
Ephesians 17

• 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the
  forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the
  riches of God's grace

11
Isaiah 535-6

• 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he
  was crushed for our iniquities the punishment
  that brought us peace was upon him, and by his
  wounds we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have
  gone astray, each of us has turned to his own
  way and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity
  of us all.

12
1 Peter 118-19

• 18For you know that it was not with perishable
  things such as silver or gold that you were
  redeemed from the empty way of life handed down
  to you from your forefathers, 19but with the
  precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish
  or defect.

13
2 Corinthians 521

• 21God made him(Jesus) who had no sin to be sin
  for us, so that in him(Jesus) we might become the
  righteousness of God.

14
With What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
The price Jesus paid to redeem me was His
suffering and death as an innocent substitute.
15
Application

• Agree or Disagree
• When we see a picture of Jesus bloody body
  hanging on the cross, we should feel sorry for
  him.

16
Application Response

• Yes, we should feel sorry for him, but we should
  think of much more than just that.
• Jesus went through that because of our sin. By
  shedding his blood, and suffering and dying,
  Jesus paid the price of redeeming us.

17
Application

• A friend of yours who doesnt know much about
  Jesus says to you,
• I dont see why you make such a big deal about
  Jesus sacrificing his life for you. Many people
  throughout history have sacrificed their lives to
  save other people.
• How would you answer your friend?

18

• Application Response
• One thing you would want to point out to your
  friend is that Jesus did not just
• save us from injury or death
• but from an eternity in hell.
• And you could add that Jesus did not just
• save us to live a few years longer in this
• world but to live forever with him in
• heaven.

From What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
20
Romans 616-23

• 16Don't you know that when you offer yourselves
  to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves
  to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves
  to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience,
  which leads to righteousness? 17But thanks be to
  God that, though you used to be slaves to sin,
  you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to
  which you were entrusted. 18You have been set
  free from sin and have become slaves to
  righteousness.

21
Romans 616-23 (Cont)

• 19I put this in human terms because you are weak
  in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer
  the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and
  to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them
  in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
  20When you were slaves to sin, you were free from
  the control of righteousness. 21What benefit did
  you reap at that time from the things you are now
• Ashamed of? Those things result in death! 22But
  now that you have been set free from sin and have
  become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads
  to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
  23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of
  God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

22
From What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
1. From sins guilt and slavery
23
Romans 623

• 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of
  God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

24
2 Timothy 110

• 10but it has now been revealed through the
  appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has
  destroyed death and has brought life and
  immortality to light through the gospel.

25
John 1125-26

• 25Jesus said to her, I AM the resurrection and
  the life. He who believes in me will live, even
  though he dies 26and whoever lives and believes
  in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

26
From What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
1. From sins guilt and slavery
2. From death, so I can now have eternal life
27
Genesis 315

• 15 And I will put enmity between you and the
  woman, and between your offspring and hers he
  will crush your head, and you will strike his
  heel."

28
1 John 38

• 8He who does what is sinful is of the devil,
  because the devil has been sinning from the
  beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was
  to destroy the devil's work.

29
Hebrews 214-15
14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too
shared in their humanity so that by his death he
might destroy him who holds the power of
death--that is, the devil-- 15and free those who
all their lives were held in slavery by their
fear of death.
30
From What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
1. From sins guilt and slavery
2. From death, so I can now have eternal life
3. From the devils power, so I am no longer
his slave

32
The Result of Jesus Work of Redeeming Me
33
Romans 323-24

• 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory
  of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace
  through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
  

34
The Result of Jesus Work of Redeeming Me
God has justified me (declared me Not Guilty)
and all people.
This is a gift of Gods grace (undeserved love
and mercy).
35
Application

• Agree or disagree Right now, in Gods eyes, it
  is just as though you and I had never broken any
  of Gods laws even once in our entire lives.

36
Further Application

• Tell several things that are wrong with this
  statement Jesus death made it possible for my
  sins to be forgiven, but they arent actually
  forgiven until I believe.

37
What I Am Now Free To Do
38
Luke 191-10

• Zacchaeus the Tax Collector 1Jesus entered
  Jericho and was passing through. 2A man was there
  by the name of Zacchaeus he was a chief tax
  collector and was wealthy. 3He wanted to see who
  Jesus was, but being a short man he could not,
  because of the crowd. 4So he ran ahead and
  climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since
  Jesus was coming that way.

39
Luke 191-10 (Cont)

• 5When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and
  said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I
  must stay at your house today." 6So he came down
  at once and welcomed him gladly. 7All the people
  saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be
  the guest of a 'sinner.' " 8But Zacchaeus stood
  up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and
  now I give half of my possessions to the poor,
  and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I
  will pay back four times the amount." 9Jesus
  said to him, "Today SALVATION has come to this
  house, because this man, too, is a son of
  Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to
  save what was lost."

40
1 Corinthians 619-20

• 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of
  the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have
  received from God? You are not your own 20you
  were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with
  your body.

41
2 Corinthians 514-15

• 14For Christ's love compels us, because we are
  convinced that one died for all, and therefore
  all died. 15And he died for all, that those who
  live should no longer live for themselves but for
  him who died for them and was raised again.

42
1 Peter 224

• 24He himself bore our sins in his body on the
  tree, so that we might die to sins and live for
  righteousness by his wounds you have been
  healed.

43
Application

• Evaluate this statement
• Because Jesus took away the guilt of our sins,
  we shouldnt be bothered by the fact we fall into
  sin every day.

44
Response

• Our sins should not bother us in the sense that
  we might doubt that they are forgiven.
• Because of Christs saving work, God forgives
  all our sins. There isnt any condemnation (see
  Romans 81). But Jesus great love for us
  doesnt lead us to be careless or nonchalant
  about our sins.
• Instead, we hate sin and want to show our thanks
  by
• avoiding sin. (Romans 61,2)

45
Titus 214

• 14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all
  wickedness and to purify for himself a people
  that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
  

46
What I Am Now Free To Do
Jesus redeemed me to set me free for a life of
serving Him.
