The Ransom—God’s Greatest Gift -JESUS IS SON

What is the ransom, and what do we need to understand in order to appreciate this valuable gift?
Put simply, the ransom is GOD .S means to deliver, or save, humankind from sin and death. (Ephesians 1:7)
Only if we understand what Adam lost when he sinned can we appreciate why the ransom is such a valuable gift to us.

// The wages sin pays is death //

But the fringe benefits are fabulous!!

[Peter Pedant]

um - put more complicatedly

ΠΡΟΣ ΕΦΕΣΙΟΥΣ 1:7 Greek NT: Nestle 1904 ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν διὰ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ, τὴν ἄφεσιν τῶν παραπτωμάτων, κατὰ τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς ...

and in him we have rdemption through his blood and the forgiveness of sins

I’ve missed nothing, Locusts. I wouldn’t expect you to be punished - or to do penance - for someone else’s crime - and neither should you. Accepting that as God’s way is not only unjust - it’s completely immoral. The bottom line in all of this is that you are afraid of the inevitable and want to cheat death - and you can’t. Every living creature in nature dies eventually - including man. That is a fact of life.

/////The problem is with man they think they're superior to the Creator the one who had created the universe the stars and also this wonderful gift of the planet Earth and when you look at all the glorious Productions of the flowers , the fruits and all those things which we take for granted and then you forget That Creator is superior to us ? and then we start Shout and not taken in the consideration of other people, or what they are trying to say to us ? and this is typical of Man and this is where we fall short and we need to get our , need humility ,into prospective ,and think of the other people because they may have difficulty in trying to explain to us , there meaning and understanding
Rom. 5:12) He immediately promised that obedient humans would be brought back into his family .but he to Adam’s unborn offspring without no hope. Although Adam and Eve could pass on only imperfection, sin, and death ? ,but man had prove him self loyal to his creator ?.
He immediately promised that obedient humans would be brought back into his family. he sure hope offered by God is that faithful ones will eventually be “set free from enslavement to corruption, Rom 8,1

Almost the same name, almost the same schtick.

[Peter Pedant]

yup
ROmans 3 - 21 - 26
for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith.

gift by his grace is the translation of 'ransom'

this was said by Luther (*) to be the kernel of Christian faith. I am not sure if you get converted by reading it tho'

(*) AB one liners and smart-arriss comments should include liberalities based on " foo ! Loofa! da black fella in the detective series. Idris Elba yeah him, when did he start writing abart God den?" - I wd be disappointed if no one has a go

[Peter Pedant]

excuse me
Romans 5:12, NLT: "When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned."

which I think is clearer than the script given
and anyway seems to be about original sin

(yeah OK you have to be rid of original sin ( by baptism see) before redemption and salvation - bit of a long shot but this IS AB)

Peter Pedant 11:47 Tue 11th May 2021 Romans 5:12, NLT: "When Adam sinned,
Nestle 1904 Greek New Testament
Διὰ τοῦτο⁇ σπερ δι 'ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου ἁ ρμαρτία εἰς τὸν κόσμον εἰσῆλθεν, καὶ διὰ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ θάνατος, καὶ οὕτως εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὁ θάνατος διῆλθεν, ἐφ' ᾧ πάντες ἥμαρτον ·
Διὰ τοῦτο⁇ σπερ δι 'ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου ἁ ρμαρτία εἰς τὸν διαμονη εἰσῆλθεν, καὶ διὰ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ θάνατος, καὶ οὕἰ εἰς πετοντας ἀνθρώπαν ὁ θάνατος διῆλθεν, ἐφρρ

Therefore osper by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death, and so to every man death diilthen, if ᾧ everyone sinned;
Therefore, man entered into the world from one man sin, and from sinful death, and thus death into every man, if all sinned.

////this is not a miss quotation of [Romans 5,12 ] the translation it is correct and you are correct in what you are saying but ? also I am correcting what I am saying Jesus Paid the Ransom sacrifice of the sin that Adam brought into the world by disobeying his creator and Jesus is the last Adam who paid the penalty of Adam's sin. By is death , which will give us an opportunity of Life everlasting in a paradise Earth or in heaven because he paid the Ransom sacrifice of sin that was God's punishment sin is death,, and death is sin
Jesus was a perfect man, not like Adam, who sinned. IT also needed a perfect man to atone for the sin that man had brought into the WORLD . {.To stand as n equivalent; to make reparation, compensation, or amends, for an offense or a crime. }
