Have You Found Our Ransom?



Job 33:22-24

22 His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death. 
23 If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him, 
24 and he is merciful to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom

Romans 3:25 
whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins


Love....
1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Ps.49:7-9

7 Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his life
8 for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice, 
9 that he should live on forever and never see the pit.


The cost, death....
Heb.9:15 NIV
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant


Matt.20:28
even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many


Who can know the depth of Your precious gift? Lord, we praise You for you alone are worthy!! Amen
