God Is My… (Psalms), 24

~ God Is My Redeemer ~

 

Introduction  ~  Previously from July 16, 2017 through January 6, 2019 ALN posted a series of 60 posts of “Jesus is…,” and now we look exclusively at who “God is…” from the Book of Psalms.  While not a complete list these posts occur are in the same order they are in the Psalms. 

 

Passage  ~  “For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake,

Lead me and guide me.  Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, for You are my strength.  Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth” (Psalm 31:3-5).    

 

Significance  ~  “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7).

 

The word “redemption” or “redeem” means to buy back and set free.  In our society you redeem something from a pawn shop.  Regarding the salvation of a soul there is redemption by blood, redemption by power, and redemption through the Word of God (we see these three aspects in the first chapter of 1 Peter).
