Because of His Love

And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest. Ruth 3:11

If I redeem something, I am buying back that which once belonged to me but was lost. Ruth was part of a family which had lost everything it once owned. She went to Boaz, her near kinsman, and he agreed to pay the price to redeem her and all that had been lost to her family. Why? Because he loved her.

Jesus came to redeem us. Created by Him and for Him, we were his prized creation. Because of our disobedience we were sold into sin and lost. Jesus came and died on the cross to pay the price for our redemption. Why? Because he loved us.
