What does Redemption through Jesus mean?
Everyone in this world is in the need of redemption. The Bible tells us that, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. (Romans 3:23). The word redeem means to “buy out”. God sent His Son Jesus to this world to take on our sin, at His death on the cross and because His blood was shed for us, we are no longer slaves to our sin. Jesus purchased our freedom so that we don’t have to have eternal separation from God. Jesus paid the price for our release from sin and its consequences. He rescued us!
The benefits for redemption include eternal life (Rev 5:9-10), forgiveness of sins (Eph 1:7), adoption into God’s family (Gal 4:5), Peace with God (Col 1:18-20), the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19-20), deliverance from sin’s bondage (1 Peter 1:14-18, Titus 2:14). To be redeemed, means we have been forgiven, adopted, justified, freedom, reconciled, & set apart to do good works.
How we got started: We are five families that came together in a small group through our Church to do life together. We learned through our time together that we all had the desire to share His love with our community. We are committed to the outreach for homeless, children in foster care, children sick in the hospital, girls on the street or caught up in human trafficking, and the elderly in nursing homes. Our heart is to share the love of Jesus by providing resources for their needs.
