True North: RedemptionNäide

The next step in redemption is sharing. Share your story. Share it with the people in your life, your family, or with someone who needs the hope of Jesus in their life.

In the story of Jesus freeing the man from Legion, in Luke 8, the man begged Jesus to let him stay with Him. After experiencing freedom and redemption, all the man wanted was to be in the presence of Jesus. What’s interesting is that Jesus said, “No!” Instead, He told the man to “return to your home and tell how much God has done for you.”

One of the absolute best ways to reinforce redemption in your own life is to share your story of redemption. Reflecting on the fact that you are loved and pursued by the Creator of the universe draws you into a deep relationship with Him. You are chosen. You are wanted. You are needed. You are loved. You are an heir to the Kingdom of God.
