Amen, as Shepherd of His Sheep, Christ's Blood alone was the ransom price to release from the bondage of sin and its penalty 1 Pet. 1:18-19

Yes indeed, Unbelief is bondage to sin that Christ liberates His Sheep from through redemption. Paul writes in Rom 6:18

18[FONT=&quot]Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

Notice Paul told these believers they had been made free from sin. The words made free [/FONT]eleutheroō means:

1. to make free
   
2. set at liberty: from the dominion of sin
   
   its the same word used in Jn 8:36 of the Son
   
   If the Son therefore shall make G1659 ➔ you free, G1659 ye shall be free indeed.
   
   Also in the Rom 6:18 passage eleutheroō is in the passive voice which we know means:
   
   The passive voice represents the subject as being the recipient of the action.
   
   So Paul means that Christ made them free from the dominion of sin, particularly unbelief. But continue to notice the causative effect of being made free from sin, ye became[FONT=&quot] the servants of righteousness , or ye were made to become servants of righteousness which means the were made believers in Him that set them free.
   
   Everyone Christ redeems will be given faith via the newbirth to believe on Christ, or they will become servants of righteousness.[/FONT]

Amen, and TY for expounding ! Yes, Christ's Sheep are released from the bondage of sin particularly unbelief, made free John 8:36 passively; which means without any action of their own whatsoever. For their being made free from the dominion of sin and being made the servants of righteousness is solely by the accomplishment of Christ by His Cross alone, and not by the will or work of any man.

Christs redemptive death also gives redemption even the forgiveness of sins to those He shed His blood for.. Eph 1:7

7 [FONT=&quot]In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

The word redemption here is [/FONT]apolutrósis which means:

a release effected by payment of ransom
release effected by payment of ransom; redemption, deliverance.

Now what kind of release , deliverance to they have here by the ransom payment of Christs blood for them ?

looks back to God's effective work of grace, purchasing them from the debt of sin and bringing them to their new status (being in Christ).

everywhere in the N. T. metaphorically, viz. deliverance effected through the death of Christ from the retributive wrath of a holy God and the merited penalty of sin:

They have through Christs blood been delivered from the penalty of sin which is death Rom 6:23

23 [FONT=&quot]For the wages [cost penalty] of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 5:12

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Wherefore, as by one man [/FONT]sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:


This is why no one Christ died for can be under Gods wrath as these unbelievers are said to be Jn 3:36

36 [FONT=&quot]He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

See these unbelievers obviously dont have redemption through His blood or else they would be delivered from Gods wrath abiding on them, and from the penalty of their sins.[/FONT]

 

[beloved57]

Now exactly who is it that has this redemption through His Blood with the forgiveness of sins ? The context of Eph 1 tells us Eph 1:1-7

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Its these:

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world"

The Elect or Chosen of God, Chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world !

Amen to #25 and #26 !

Those Chosen of the Father In Union with Christ to be Holy and without blame before Him in love, were redeemed by His Death for them, liberated from the power of sin, and thus freed from the debt and penalty of it Eph. 1:4-7; Eternally delivered from all of them according to the riches of God's Grace; Eternally reconciled to God by Christ's death on their behalf Rom. 5:10; it was exclusively for them that He abolished death 2 Tim. 1:9-10.


On the other hand, those who were not chosen to have redemption through Christ's Blood and the forgiveness of sins, were predestinated to remain under God's wrath Rom. 9:22; Prov. 16:4.

Rev. 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 

[beloved57]

Also accompanied with this redemption in Christs blood is Justification. The word redemption used in Eph 1:7

[FONT=&quot]In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Again its the word [/FONT]apolytrōsis its also used in Rom 3:24

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption G629 that is in Christ Jesus:

So in Christs redemption the elect have both deliverance from the penalty of their sins and are Justified ! So the redeem have redemption and justification through His Blood, thats why Paul writes to the Romans in Rom 5:9

9 [FONT=&quot]Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.[/FONT]

Amen Brother, and just as the Elect were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world to have redemption / justification through His Blood Eph. 1:7; Rom. 5:9 according to the riches of His Grace, it was also then that they were saved / reconciled to God 2 Tim. 1:9 and put into a right relationship with Him, received into His Favour, through the death of His Son, even while they were being His enemies and unbelievers Rom. 5:10. For Salvation is Justification !

Christs redeeming death was foreordained for the elect before the foundation. 1 Pet 1:18-20

[FONT=&quot]18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Not only was Christ foreordained to redeem, those whom He would come in time to redeem were foreordained or foreknown also. The word foreordained here is rendered foreknow in Rom 8:29

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

And they're the elect in 1 Pet 1:2

2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

And Christ came to earth to be manifest to them [the elect] in his foreordained redeeming purpose.
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,


Christ didnt come to redeem everyone in world without exception as some falsely teach and implie ![/FONT]

 

[beloved57]

Christs redeeming death was foreordained for the elect before the foundation and corresponds with Christ being the Lamb slain from the foundation and for those whose names had been written in the Lambs book of life who I believe coincide with the elect and foreknown. Rev 13:8

8 [FONT=&quot]And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.[/FONT]

 

[beloved57]

In a way the elect were redeemed by the blood of Christ in that in the Mind and purpose of God Christ was slain from the foundation of the world Rev 13:8.

Amen to #30, #31 and #32.

Agree Brother, so that would mean that Christ was the elects' Redeemer before He was the Creator.

Eph. 3:9-11

9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:


Therefore God, according to His Eternal Purpose in Christ [the Lamb slain before the foundation Rev. 13:8], caused sin to come into the world through adam, [originally the federal head of all the elect], whom He Purposed through Christ, the Last Adam 1 Cor. 15:45 to Save them [the elect] from their sins 1 Pet. 1:20.

Absolutely, Christ was Co Creator of the world for that purpose Col 1:14-18

[FONT=&quot]14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.[/FONT]

The redeeming death of Christ will make them He died for Priests unto God Rev 5:9-10

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Amen, it is Christ's Blood alone shed on behalf of these Chosen Ones, that made them Priests unto God !

1 Pet. 1:18-19

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:


1 Pet. 2:5, 9

5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:


Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.


These who were made a Holy / Royal Priesthood are the Children of The King, of the Royal Seed of Christ Chosen in union with Him to receive The Eternal Inheritance Eph. 1:4-11.


The point here is, they did nothing of themselves to effect the outcome of their becoming Kings and Priests: No, not their faith, or repentance, neither their own obedience, but was 100% the accomplishment of Christ's Redeeming Death for them !
