Repentance from sin

                In  other  words  the  ransom  price  was  in  the  form  of  a
                punishent, not against mankind but instead against Jesus
                Christ himself.

                There  are  a  number  of  words  used  in  the  Bible  that  have
                been translated into redeemed or redemption. They have the
                following senses to them;-

                To loose  by a price;   to purchase out;   to set free;   to  tear
                away and rescue;  division or separate between;  to recover
                and revenge.

                So man's redemption has been achieved and gives him
                the  opportunity  of  a  new  life,  eternal  life,  freedom,
                exemption from God's punishment.

                A list of Benefits include:-

                Freedom from - All iniquity;  the curse and bondage of God's
                law;  the power of sin;  a  pointless way of life;  all evil;  all
                trouble;  distress  and  adversity;  deceit;  destruction;  death;
                Hell; the hand of Satan; our enemies:

                And gives us -

                Foregiveness of sins;

                it brings joy and a holy walk;

                it delivers from fear   Isaiah 41 v10 'so do not fear for I am
                with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God.';

                it makes us God's own possesion, not our own   Isaiah 43 v 1
                ' ...fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have summoned
                you by name: you are mine.'
