This is Namma for Christ with the
one hundred twenty-second inspirational message dated Saturday, November 11th,
2017. The title of this message is, “My
Redeemer Lives: Jesus – Job 19:25".
The first three words in the title of this message are also the title
of the above anointed song/video (with lyrics) entitled “My Redeemer Lives” as
sung by Nicole C. Mullen.
The scripture comes from the book of Job - the 25th
verse of the nineteenth chapter - as written by Job.

25 For I know that my Redeemer
lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth
And He shall stand at last on the earth
Recently, I was listening to and enjoying the song, “My Redeemer Lives” as sung by Nicole C. Mullen. I decided to research on the Internet the meaning of "Redeemer" - the below is what I discovered:
Question: "What is the meaning of a
Christian
Redeemer?"
(Excerpt from: “gotQuestions?org”)
Answer: Everyone is in need of redemption.
Christ’s
redemption has freed us from guilt, being “justified freely by His grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans
3:24).
The benefits of redemption include eternal life (Revelation 5:9-10), forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:7), righteousness (Romans 5:17), freedom from the law’s curse (Galatians 3:13), adoption into God’s family (Galatians 4:5), deliverance from sin’s bondage (Titus 2:14; 1 Peter 1:14-18), peace with God (Colossians 1:18-20), and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). To be redeemed, then, is to be forgiven, holy, justified, free, adopted, and reconciled. See also Psalm 130:7-8 (see below):

Psalm 130:7-8
New
King James Version (NKJV)
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
The word redeem means “to buy out.” The term was used specifically in reference to the purchase of a slave’s freedom. The application of this term to Christ’s death on the cross is quite telling. If we are “redeemed,” then our prior condition was one of slavery.

Galatians 3:13
New King James Version (NKJV)
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
Galatians 4:5
New King James Version (NKJV)
5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Related to the Christian concept of redemption is the word ransom. Jesus paid the price for our release from sin and its consequences (Matthew 20:28; 1 Timothy 2:6). His death was in exchange for our life. In fact, Scripture is quite clear that redemption is only possible “through His blood,” that is, by His death (Colossians 1:14) (see below):
Colossians 1:14
New King James Version (NKJV)
14 in whom
we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
The streets of heaven will be filled with former captives who, through no merit of their own, find themselves redeemed, forgiven, and free. Slaves to sin have become saints. No wonder we will sing a new song—a song of praise to the Redeemer who was slain (Revelation 5:9) (see below):
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 And they
sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take
the scroll,
And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
We were slaves to sin, condemned to eternal separation from God. Jesus paid the price to redeem us, resulting in our freedom from slavery to sin and our rescue from the eternal consequences of that sin.
BECAUSE OF JESUS - WE ARE FREE! JESUS PAID OUR SIN DEBT! LET US LIVE TO PLEASE JESUS - BECAUSE..... "OUR REDEEMER LIVES: JESUS"!
Please listen to and enjoy the above anointed song/video (with lyrics) entitled “My Redeemer Lives” as sung by Nicole C. Mullen
(I do not own the rights to this song.)
BE BLESSED!
