CHAPTER XIX.

CHRIST'S WORK OF REDEMPTION.


I. WHOM HE HAS REDEEMED.

He HAS REDEEMED

ME. Christ died for all; [I Pet. 2:24+, I John 2:2+, John 1:29+] and
consequently for me also. [Gal. 2:20+] Believing on Him, all the
blessings of His redemption belong to me In time and in eternity. He is
_my_ Saviour, _my_ Redeemer.

A LOST AND CONDEMNED CREATURE. I was lost, [Isa. 53:6+, I Pet. 2:25]
because my sin had separated me from God, and I could not have found my
way back to Him, if Christ had not sought and found me. I was condemned,
[Eph. 2:3] because I had broken God's commandments and deserved eternal
punishment.

II. FROM WHAT HE HAS REDEEMED ME.

He has SECURED AND DELIVERED ME

FROM ALL SINS; namely, from the _guilt_ of sin by paying its penalty for
me on the cross; [I John 1:7, II Cor. 5:21+] and from the _dominion_ of
sin by giving me grace to fight against it and overcome it. [Rom 6:14,
Rom. 8:2-4]
