How to Be a Redemptive Change AgentНамуна

What is a Redemptive Change Agent?

For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God (Romans 8:19 ESV).

People everywhere are looking for those who will step forward to help solve their problems. In this passage, Paul is telling suffering believers that he cannot wait for the time when they will be able to demonstrate the problem-solving love of Jesus Christ in their societies that are in “bondage to corruption” (Rom. 8:21).

The redemptive change agent offers workable solutions when no one else cares and when past solutions have failed. A redemptive change agent creatively, intelligently, courageously, and skillfully engages those problems, because Jesus engaged his/her deepest and greatest problem (sin) and came up with the solution none could have imagined (crucifixion).

While none of us can (nor should) give our lives to redeem others from their sin, God has given us His Holy Spirit to take on difficult problems in our communities, societies, and nations so that human beings can begin to flourish as God intended and so that people are drawn to love and obey their Creator through faith in His Son.
