How do we know that we have redemption through Christ?
Answered in 1 source
We know we have redemption through Christ because Scripture affirms that by His blood, we are forgiven and made meet for the inheritance of the saints.
The certainty of redemption is grounded in the declarations of Scripture. Colossians 1:12-14 explicitly states that believers have been delivered from darkness and translated into the kingdom of Christ. This transition is made possible by the redemptive work of Christ, which provides forgiveness of sins. The Greek word for 'we have' indicates a continued possession, underscoring that this redemption is a current reality for all who trust in Christ. Therefore, believers are assured of their redemption as a gift of grace, confirmed by the Holy Spirit's work within them.
