I HAVE REDEEMED YOU

Isaiah 43:1-4 (NKJV) 1 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,

And He who formed you, O Israel:

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name;

You are Mine.

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,

Nor shall the flame scorch you.

3 For I am the LORD your God,

The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;

I gave Egypt for your ransom,

Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

4 Since you were precious in My sight,

You have been honored,

And I have loved you;

 

Fear not, for I have redeemed you. These are some of the things God does NOT mean when he says these words;

  • Do not be afraid, I will tolerate your sin
  • Do not be afraid, there is no judgment nor hellfire
  • Be very afraid, I will not lift you up in the waters, nor shield you in the fires
  • Be very afraid, I am constantly watching to catch you doing something wrong

 

When God says, I have redeemed you, He means “I have heard your cries of repentance and I have bought you back from sin and death, I have gone before you, I will never leave you.”

 

When God says, “I have redeemed you,” He means that Jesus paid the price for your sin. He means that “I require holiness, but you cannot be holy. So I sent my very own Son to take your place. Believe on Him—trust in Him—follow Him.”

 

May we know, believe and understand that the God of the universe knows our names, He sees our struggles, our lives and and we are His. So, pray without ceasing, believe without doubting, and love without limits.

 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
