When I was little I used to love to collect soft drink bottles and take them to the liquor store. At the store, they would give me money in return for the bottles. Then I would promptly spend my earnings buying candy. This process is called redemption. All of us were lost without hope, living apart from and far from God. God created the redemption process for our souls. He sacrificed His own Son, who paid the redemption price through His sacrificed life and blood. Now we can receive this redemption through trusting God with our lives and living as God’s redeemed children.
Psalm 77:13-15 says, “You way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders; you have made know your might among the peoples. You with your arm redeemed your people.” Our God is unique and cannot be matched in holiness, wonder working power, or might. He has redeemed us by paying the price for our souls and making us into His people.
