Redemption
redemption - How can God possibly redeem the bad choices I’ve made?
I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.
Isaiah 44:22
Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.
Isaiah 1:18
You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy.
Psalm 30:11
We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Romans 8:28
REDEMPTION resonates deeply with the human heart; we love seeing good come out of bad situations. Perhaps it is because we long for the broken pieces in our own lives to somehow be made whole. This is exactly what God promises to those who trust in Jesus as their Savior. They are 100 percent forgiven, made clean and holy, restored to right relationship with him, and guaranteed eternal life. No matter how messy, broken, or dirty your life is, God is able to use it for his good. If this truth is difficult for you to accept, reflect on the promises in God’s Word. Trust that as time passes, you will experience him bringing beauty out of your life that you never thought possible.
