Knowing we are redeemed gives Christians assurance of their identity and security in Christ.
The doctrine of redemption is crucial for Christians as it establishes their identity as God's people and assures them of His promises. In Isaiah 43:1, God reassures His people that He has redeemed them and they belong to Him. This knowledge provides a firm foundation against fear and insecurity, as believers can rest in the assurance of their salvation. Understanding redemption leads to a deeper appreciation of God's grace and love, recognizing that it is not based on personal merit but on Christ's work on the cross. Redemption also calls believers to a life of gratitude and service to God, as they have been bought at a price, thus living out the implications of their new identity in Christ.
