1 | From whom were we redeemed by the blood? | Rom 3:25 | Marcelo R. dela Cruz, Jr. | 165551 | ||
Question: Is it correct to believe that Our Lord Jesus presented His blood to the Father in heaven (Heb. 9.14) and redeemed us, not from the Devil, but from our inability to fulfill the requirement of the law (Gal.3.10-13)? Footnote: The reason of my asking the above is that I heard so many bible teachers/commentators that we were redeemed from the Devil. However, I can't see any direct or implied verse or verses which tell me that. I believe that mankind, through Adam, owed to God. As a consequence of his disobedience, God's curses were pronounced in Gen.3.14-19. When the law was given through Moses, a curse was also pronounced, i.e., Det. 27.26. In other words, we did not owe anything to the Devil. We owe everything to God. Jesus paid for us and reconciled us to the Father by His precious blood. |

2 | From whom were we redeemed by the blood? | Rom 3:25 | mark d seyler | 165556 | ||
Hi Marcelo, I believe you are correct. Col 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, Col 2:14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. God is the one Who set aside our debt, because it was God's Law that we broke. Psa 51:4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. The penalty we owed was payable to God, so our redemption was from our debt to Him. I think you've hit the nail on the head. God bless! Love in Christ, Mark |
