It's personal. It's deeply personal. It represents the total sacrifice of Jesus on your behalf. And it is the place where you can leave every wrong thing you've ever done and have it completely forgiven by God; erased from God's records so you'll never meet those sins on Judgment Day. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/darkness-behind-you-sunlight-ahead-5978 2009-12-09T10:09:22-05:00 Paul says, Jesus "gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness" (Titus 2:13). How can we drift back into the things He died to get us out of? I can't think of a greater insult to the Man who died for you. Because of Jesus, you were able to drive out of the storm, out of the darkness, out of eternal danger. Don't go back there. Everything you were made for, everything you need is on the Jesus-road ahead of you. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%201:13-14&version=NIV 2009-10-06T17:06:27-05:00 Redemption is simply the forgiveness of our sins, and restoration to a relationship with God. Through his sacrifice, Jesus redeemed us and brought us into the kingdom of God, rescuing us from the kingdom of sin and darkness. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%201:10-11&version=NIV 2009-09-15T09:56:46-05:00 God has delivered us from the great danger of sin, and can be trusted to similarly rescue us from spiritual danger in the future. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/It-s-Time-to-Go-Outside-8075 2008-08-15T16:44:35-05:00 See Jesus points to where most of the people are who need Him—outside the church, outside our comfort zone, outside our Christian cocoon. That’s where He’s asking us as His people to go—out.
