#148 Benefits #3: Redeemed

Psalm 103:1-5 “…And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things,So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

Psalm 103:3 “Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,”

These are linked together in the Bible. They go together. If you have one then you have the other.

1 Peter 2:24 “…who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.”

Knowledge of forgiveness does remove the reproach or condemnation from our lives.

How do you get healed?
Same way you got forgiveness.
He graciously provided it and you by believing Him received it.

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,” sode’-zo:— rescue, save from destruction, heal, restore health

“Redeems Your Life From Destruction.”

Ga’al:— Act as kinsman-redeemer by marrying brother’s widow to beget a child for him, to redeem from slavery, to redeem land, to exact vengeance, to redeem by payment to redeem
individuals from death.

Romans 6:17-19 “Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.”

Ruth 4:14 “Then the women of the town said to Naomi, ‘Praise the Lord, who has now provided a redeemer for your family!’”

Ruth was David’s Great Grandma.

2 Samuel 9
David’s demonstrates redemption
Mephibosheth:– exterminate the idol, destroy or remove shame.
Machir:– to sell yourself, sold out.
Lo-debar:– barren place, not a pasture, Nothing, No promise.

1 Samuel 9:4  “…Lo Debar…”  No Promise

4. Love Of Another Is Qualifier

Ephesians 1:6 “…to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.”

5. Restoration Is The Purpose
