The Lord redeems

In the same way, no matter the challenges and obstacles we encounter God can and will redeem us if we put our trust in Him.

Ephesians 1:7

This verse from the new testament reminds us that Jesus redeemed us with His blood and forgave us all our sins.

He reconciled us to God and gave us eternal life when we accept the gift of salvation. Be sure to accept the gift of salvation if you have not done so already.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Believe in the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved. (Acts ,16:31)
