I Will Sing of My Redeemer

 


Psalm 96:1

O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Psalm 40:3

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Isaiah 42:10

Sing to the LORD a new song—His praise from the ends of the earth—you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who dwell in them.

Revelation 5:9

And they sang a new song: "Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation."

    What New Song is this which everyone is singing? The Song of Redemption. The Song of The Redeemed. The Song of Redeeming Grace, of God's Love Exemplified.

    While the angels in heaven can worship with song and with music, only the redeemed of The Lord can worship from a sinner saved by grace standpoint.

    How did we get to be the redeemed of The Lord? By believing the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. He is our Redeemer, our Savior. Let me show you the Way. 

Nobody is good enough  to go to heaven on their own merits- Romans 3:10
Everyone is a sinner - Romans 3:23
But God loves us so much He sent His Son to die in our place - Romans 5:6; John 3:16
We deserve death for our sin but God's plan of salvation is a Gift to those who believe - Romans 6:23
When we speak out loud that we believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in our hearts that this is true, God saves us, redeems us - Romans 10:9-10

I Know My Redeemer Lives

 

JOB 19:25

I know my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. 

Psalm 19:14

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my Strength, and my Redeemer. 

Isaiah 47:4

Our Redeemer--The LORD of Hosts is His name--is The Holy One of Israel.

    I Know My Redeemer Lives - Nicole C. Mullen 

I Know My Redeemer Lives in Sign Language 

I Am Redeemed - Big Daddy Weave

    Why do we need a Redeemer? We are born with a sinful nature. It's part of our DNA. You won't find it in any medical textbook, nor will this sinfulness show up in any test. It's a spiritual nature. And having been born with a sinful nature, we live in sin. Until. Until we see our need for a Savior, a Redeemer.    

    We need a Redeemer to buy us back from the one who owns our sinful souls. So God sent His only begotten Son to purchase us with His own blood, "once and for all" (Hebrew 7:24-26). I saw my need and I reached out to Him. I cried in despair for Jesus to help me. He came to my rescue, opened my eyes and came into my heart, where now He lives forever in me and I live in Him. I have a Redeemer! 

    No more do I live in sin. Now I live in Jesus Christ and He lives in me! Salvation is mine! I needed saving and only Jesus could save me. I needed to be loved like God loves me. Oh, friend, do you see your need for a Savior, a Redeemer? He's calling your name right now. He's pleading with you to open the door of your heart. To cry out His Name ---JESUS---- and receive Him into your heart and your life. 

    No more is that sinful nature a part of me for now I am a part of Christ. When He prayed in the garden before His arrest, He prayed for us -- you and I -- to believe in Him that He would live in us as we live in Him. By faith in The Name of The Son of God. By faith in The Only Name Under Heaven by which we can be saved. By faith, by believing without seeing. 

    And when we receive God's only begotten Son into our hearts, God's Holy Spirit begins a new work in us. He begins to make us holy and acceptable to God. The Spirit writes The Word of God on our hearts when we hear it, read it and meditate on it. He is the Stylus and our heart is the tablet. 

    I can say, as Job said, "I know my Redeemer Lives". But why did He feel the need to make such a statement to his friends? In their misguided efforts to mourn with him they had just accused him of being a hypocrite and condemned him: they were judge and jury at a mock trial of their grieving friend (Job 19). I believe that The Spirit rose up in Job and spoke at this time. For it is The Holy Spirit who gives us strength to make our defense when necessary, as well as keeping us silent. 

    I have hope in this life and my hope has a Name. My soul hopes in its Lord. And some day, I will see Him face to face. Will you be with me? As much as I want you there, I can't make that decision for you. Believing in God's plan of salvation is an individual decision.

The Name of The Lord

     SALVATION IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD

    Joel 2:32
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on The Name of The LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as The LORD has said, and in the remnant whom The LORD shall call.
    Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved.
    Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on The Name of The Lord shall be saved.



    THE NAME OF THE LORD IS 
SAVIOR
     Isaiah 45:17
But Israel will be saved by The LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.
    
DELIVERER
    Romans 11:26
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
     
REDEEMER
    Isaiah 59:20
"The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression," declares the LORD.
    Titus 2:14
Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 

NO OTHER NAME
    Acts 4:11-12
This Jesus is ‘The Stone you builders rejected, which has become The Chief Cornerstone.’ Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

IN THENAME OF THE LORD IS 
FORGIVENESS
    Acts 2:38
Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in The Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of The Holy Ghost.

WHOLENESS
    Acts 3:6-7
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

UNITY
    1 Corinthians 1:10
 Now I plead with you, brethren, by The Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

STRUCTURE
    Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in The Name of The Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

POWER
    John 20:31
But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is The Christ, The Son of God; and that believing you might have life through His Name.
    Acts 10:43
"All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His Name.”

YOU ARE HOLY - Andrew Hopkins
THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU - Lenny LeBlanc

    Why does anyone ever run from the only Name that can save us? For we do, indeed, need saving. Our souls are in grave danger on a daily basis. It is the soul - how we think, how we emote, how we act- that is eternal. Whether that eternity is death eternal or life eternal, the soul will live beyond this life. 
    We are only fooling ourselves when we turn our backs on God. God sees us. God knows us. He waits for us to turn to Him; He is not forceful yet, nor is He pushy. God is gentle and patient (longsuffering) and merciful. He waits for you to come home. The welcome mat is always out...for now. There will come a time, a day, when it will be too late to make a commitment to trust in God, to believe in God, to follow Jesus Christ. Don't let your souls see that day come to you. 
    My Mother prayed for you as she lay dying. She prayed for the salvation of her family: her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren; her sister and brother and their children and grandchildren; her husband's siblings and their families throughout their generations. Salvation is the only thing she prayed for. We prayed together. It is the first and the last time my Mother and I ever prayed together. We prayed for you. 
    Now, it's up to you to make a decision. Do you choose Christ Jesus, The Only Begotten Son of God, The Lamb of God? The only God Who died for you and rose from the dead? or do you choose to follow dead gods who died and never came back from the grave?  
    In The Name of The LORD JESUS CHRIST is LOVE. He is The LOVE OF GOD personified. He is The Glory of God personified. He is The POWER OF GOD personified. IN THE NAME OF THE LORD IS THE NAME OF THE LORD.

The Lord Is A Mighty Warrior

 

Exodus 15:3
The LORD is a Warrior, the LORD is His Name. 

Revelation 19:11
Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.

Exodus 14:14
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."

Psalm 50:3
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about Him.


    In Exodus 15:3 Miriam is singing to The Lord because she has seen firsthand how God delivers His people. Are we singing to The Lord with such abandonment and joy? Perhaps we have forgotten who we are in Christ and Who CHRIST IS in us. 
    Who am I in Christ? I can say, speaking only in reference to myself, that I am His songwriter and His singer. I am His student and His friend. I am His adopted sister and His bride. I am a voice in the wilderness crying out, as John the Baptist did, "Prepare you the way of The Lord!" No matter what or who I am in Christ, the point is: I AM IN CHRIST AND I AM HIS.
    Christ in me is: Redeemer, Savior, King, Friend, Deliverer, Anchor, Hope, Peace, Strength and so much, much more. 
    I tell you now, as the voice in the wilderness, and beg you in all earnestness, today just might be your day of salvation. From one moment to the next we are sure of nothing other than: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS. And He died on the cross for you and I, taking the punishment each of us should have had. But He didn't stay in the grave. He rose from the dead and walked out of the grave...changed, changed to a new life which is what He promises each person who believes Him and receives Him into their hearts and their lives. We call this salvation and the next person who gets saved could be you.
    The next time Christ arrives on this planet Earth will be when God sends Him to fetch His bride and bring her to the place He has prepared for her. 
    Then, after a period of time, Christ will return to set up His thousand-year reign, more commonly referred to as the millennial kingdom. 
    Not until after those thousand years have passed will Christ return as The Rider on the White Horse. Then, the people who are left who still refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is LORD will perish in their foolishness and wickedness. For it is wicked to not believe God and God's Faithful and True Word.

JEHOVAH-GO'EL

This is not the only verse in the Old Testament writings which refers to God as our Redeemer. Isaiah alone contains more than a handful of references.

The Color of Worship - Red

Hebrews 9:22 & 23 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was, therefore, necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. Hebrews 9:27 & 28 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Exalts Christ as our Redeemer.

Red. The color of salvation, declaring the triumphant redemption of mens' souls through the blood of Jesus Christ. Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing." Nobody else can do what Jesus did for me and you.

Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. A token, a symbol of the salvation through Christ that was yet to happen.
Job proclaimed it first when he said, "I know my Redeemer lives." Yes, my Redeemer lives. And He lives in me.
