God created human beings in His own image and for a purpose (Gen. 1:26-28). After their creation, everything went well for our first parents until they chose to disobey the one who created them, obeying the devil instead (Gen. 3:1-7). No sooner had they fallen than God announced the redemption of mankind (Gen. 3:15). This has been His core work ever since.

At the fulness of time, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, not only to carry out His work of redemption but to finish it (Gal. 4:4-5; Jn. 3:16; Rom. 5 : 8 ).

It is through faith in Jesus Christ that we become children of God (Jn.1 : 12-13 ), have everlasting life (Jn. 3:16), are reconciled to God (2 Cor. 5:18-19), and are at peace with Him ( Rom. 5 : 1-2).

God accredited this Jesus to be the Saviour of all mankind (Acts 2 : 22) and is pleased with Him ( Matt. 3:17). He has placed His seal of approval on Jesus (Jn. 6:27), in whom dwells all the fullness of the Deity (Col. 2 : 9). He gave Jesus full authority to carry on the work of redemption ( Matt. 28 : 18-20 ). He has given mankind no other Saviour than Him (Acts 4:12; Jn. 14 : 6 ).

Jesus commissioned all His followers to go to all the nations and make them His disciples, thus beneficiaries of His redemption (Matt. 28 : 18-20 ). Therefore, it is the God-given duty of all Christians to bring others all over the world to receive God’s redemption, which is freely available in Jesus Christ.

To this end, every profession, vocation, position, relationship, encounter, circumstance, or issue is an opportunity for Christians to bring people to partake in this gracious redemption. As Christians, our policies, decisions, words or deeds must bring people to enjoy this redemption instead of driving them far away from it.

It is when we Christians become more and more like our Saviour Jesus Christ by living in Him (Col. 2:6; Gal. 2:20; 1 Jn. 2 : 6), living worthy of Him (Phil. 1:27), and obeying Him fully in all areas of our lives (Jn. 14:21,23-24; Matt. 28:19-20; 1 Jn. 2:3-5), that we can become most effective in bringing others to partake in this redemption that He alone gives.

Thus, all of life is actually about this redemption, whether partaking of it or living it out in our lives daily, moment by moment or bringing others to partake of it and also live it out in their lives, daily, and moment by moment.
