What Money Can't Buy

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1.7

Read: Ephesians 1:3-14
Bible in a Year: Exodus 34-35; Matthew 22:23-46

€œThere are some things money can'€™t buy €”but these days, not many according to Michael Sandel, author of What money Can't Buy. A person can buy a prison-cell upgrade for $90 a night, the right to shoot an endangered black rhino for $250,000, and your doctor€™s cell phone number for $1,500. It seems that almost everything is up for sale.€

But one thing money can'€™t buy is redemption €”freedom from the stranglehold of sin. When the apostle Paul began writing about the rich nature of God'€™s plan of salvation through Jesus, his heart erupted in praise: €œIn Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us Eph. 1.7-8.

Jesus death on the cross was the high cost of delivering us from sin. And only He could pay that price because He was the perfect of God. The natural response to such free but costly grace is spontaneous praise from our hearts and commitment to the God who bought us through Jesus 1:13-14.

Praise to our loving God He has come to set us free!
What amazing love You have for us, heavenly Father!
That You gave Your who willingly
died in our place. It seems too good
to be true. Thank You!

Only Jesus€™ death could purchase our freedom.
