Live As Redeemed

Being a disciple of Jesus Christ--one who not only knows Him but follows Him as well--requires us to have the right mindset as to who we are. We are lavishly loved by the Father. Our eternal destiny is secured by the shed blood and resurrection of our Savior. We have the power of the Holy Spirit to help us and guide us through life. We have the Creator of the Universe working all things for our good. All of this because we are redeemed.

Because of this, we are called to live as those who have been redeemed. Scripture speaks frequently on how to live as godly men; as disciples of Jesus Christ. Titus 2:11-14 is a great example: For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous of good works.

We are redeemed by God's grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We are redeemed so that our thoughts would be transformed from evil desires to righteous actions. We are redeemed to provide a godly example of how to live in an ungodly world. We are redeemed to have a future and a hope in the coming of our Savior to rule forever. We are redeemed to have eternal life with our Redeemer.
