AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 3:25 whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance [His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before Jesus' crucifixion]. |
Bible Question (short): From whom were we redeemed by the blood? |
Question (full): 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. |
