“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36
“But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation…” Hebrews 6:9
“They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.” Psalm 82:5
Redemption is not merely an escape plan to heaven. It is God’s comprehensive, all-inclusive covenant for every area of your life—here and now. Salvation is not just deliverance from hell; it is the restoration of a relationship with God, a new identity in Christ, and access to His grace, strength, and promises for spirit, soul, and body.
David gives us a prophetic glimpse into the benefits of salvation in Psalm 103:1–5:
“Bless the LORD, O my soul… Who forgives all your iniquities, heals all your diseases, redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, and satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
This is not mere poetry—it is divine truth. Salvation is a complete work that touches every area of life.
When Jesus declared on the Cross, “It is finished” John 19:30, He ended the reign of sin, broke the power of the curse, and opened the door to a new life of grace, freedom, and authority. Through Christ, we are restored to a position of dignity and destiny. Salvation changes our spiritual status—we are no longer slaves to sin but sons and daughters of God. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), I understand we still walk through a fallen world. Until Christ returns, we live in the tension of “already” redeemed, but “not yet” in the fullness of glory.
This is why Hebrews 6:9 says, “We are convinced of better things concerning you—things that accompany salvation.” There are benefits that come with redemption—healing, peace, wisdom, provision, and inner strength. They are accessed by faith and by revelation, but they are often unfolded progressively through a life of perseverance and trust, not instantaneously.
Jesus came to restore what Adam lost—a life of fellowship, dominion, and purpose with God. In Christ, you have been rescued, restored, and repositioned. You are not a victim—you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). You are not called to survive—you are called to reign in life through Christ. But reigning often means overcoming hardships with faith, patience, and hope.
“The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God…” Romans 8:19. The world needs to see believers who know their identity in Christ, walk humbly, endure trials with joy, and manifest the wisdom, love, and power of God—even in the midst of adversity.
I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
I am not born again to live defeated—I am born again to live victorious, even through trials.
I receive every benefit of redemption: forgiveness, healing, wisdom, provision, and supernatural strength.
Christ is my life, my righteousness, and my victory.
The Word of God enlightens my heart.
I walk in divine understanding and manifest the life of God on earth—both in blessing and in battle.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the complete work of redemption through Jesus Christ.
Thank you for my new life, my eternal hope, and your daily grace.
Open my eyes to see the riches of my inheritance and give me strength to walk faithfully through every season.
Whether in blessing or in trial, I will reign in life through Christ Jesus.
Let my life be a testimony of your goodness and your power.
Amen.
