*/REDEMPTION/*
*Ephesians 1:7-14*
*/God’s Redemption in Christ (7-12)/*
*/1.
/**/Redemption/*
Release or deliverance from a state of slavery.
This */REDEMPTION /*is from sin,
and thus this work of Christ delivers us from the slavery of sin.
This is further defined by the */FORGIVENESS OF SINS./*
Which is the immediate result of our release from sin’s hold.
God does not treat sin lightly for it requires the sacrifice of blood.
Turn to */Hebrews 9:22 page 1793/*
This means that */REDEMPTION/* is the sacrificial substitute death of Christ,
which completely satisfied God’s justice.
This was accomplished */in accordance with the riches of God’s grace./*
The cost of Christ’s blood is the measure of the wealth of God’s unmerited favor to every believer.
It was accomplished not */“out of”/* but */“according to”/*
the wealth of His grace.
God’s grace is given to enable us to understand His will.
God gives us */wisdom,/*
objective insight into the true nature of God’s revelation,
and understanding.
So we are able to grasp something of the divine purpose of the ages and to see its importance in this present time.
This is accomplished because God */made known to us the mystery of His will./*
*/“Mystery”/* is a previously hidden truth unveiled by God’s revelation.
This mystery is God’s */good pleasure/* to purpose */in Christ /*to */bring all /*
*/ things in heaven and on earth /*under His headship in the completion of
*/ /*time.
The words */to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment/* are literally,
*/“unto the dispensation of the fullness of the times.”/*
This dispensation is the millennial kingdom when */“the times”/* in God’s purposes will be completed, fulfilled.
All things both spiritual and material will be under Christ and His rule.
Christ has set us free from our sin and has revealed His will that all things will be
Headed up in Christ at the end of the ages.
*/God’s Seal with the Spirit (13-14)/*
1.
God’s spiritual blessings for us is based not only on the sovereign
choice of the Father and the redemptive work of the Son,
but also on the */SEAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT./*
The last part of */verse 13/* is literally, */“they were sealed in Him [Christ] with the Holy Spirit of promises.”/*
The word */“SEAL”/* indicates security,
confirmation and approval,
guarantee of genuineness,
and identification of ownership.
God is the One who */SEALS/*
Christ is the part, in which the */“SEAL”/* is done,
the Holy Spirit is the instrument of the */SEAL./*
*/“The promised Holy Spirit”/* refers to Christ’s promise to His disciples
that He would send the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit who */SEALS/* */is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance./*
The */“deposit”/* is more than a pledge which can be returned;
it is a down payment with a guarantee of more to come.
It guarantees us */“inheritance”/* of salvation and heaven.
In real meaning, the */“deposit”/* of the Holy Spirit is a little bit of heaven in our
lives with a guarantee of much more to come.
We are */SEALED/* with the Holy Spirit*/ until the redemption of those who are/*
*/ God’s possession./*
This */REDEMPTION /*is not a release from the guilt of our sin.
*/Ephesians 1:7 (read)/*
We are already */“God’s possession.”/*
Instead, this is our ultimate, final release from the presence of sin.
Again */to the praise of His glory/*
This is repeated here as it was after the description of the work
of the Father and the Son.
