Thank God for His redemption
Mark 10:45 "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
Jesus told His disciples many times of His death but this is the first time He indicated the reason for His death. Now it is clear that His death would be a "ransom", defined in the Greek as a means of losing by paying a price.
The words "ransom" and "redeem" were used interchangeably in scripture.
Not only would Jesus pay the price for sin but also His death would be substitutionary.
In 1 Timothy 2:6, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
the word "ransom" is taken from the Greek word "antilutron" which means "a redemption-price." The Greek word "anti" means "in place of."
In other words, the ransom avails for all who will accept it
(Jn. 3:16-17; 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Rom. 10:13). 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
The price paid for our redemption is the life of Jesus, that is, Jesus' blood
(Col. 1:14) 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
This redemption, according to Hebrews 9:12, is eternal and is intended to purify us from all iniquity
(Ti. 2:14), 14 who 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.
and bring us to serve the living God
(Heb. 9:14).
12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.

13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.
14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
This can be illustrated by the way we use trading stamps. First, the stamps have to be purchased, then they are redeemed for the desired product. The purchase is essential but so is the redemption. No one really wants the stamps. They want what the stamps can be redeemed for. The purchase for our total salvation has already been made with the blood of Jesus, but our bodies have not been redeemed yet.
That is to say that we have not received yet, all the benefits of this transaction in our physical bodies. This will take place at the second coming of the Lord when we receive our new glorified bodies.
Our spirits are the only part of us that have experienced total redemption.
Thank God for the redemption He has provided for you today.
