Part 2 (further study)

For further study I have included a few quotes and Bible verses dealing with the topic of Christ redeeming us from sin: (there are many more)

Romans 6

Gal 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

2 Timothy 2:26 “And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”

Matt 20:28 “Just at the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Eph 1:7-8 “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.”

Titus 2:14 “Christ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”

“Adam fell under the dominion of Satan. He brought sin into the world , and death by sin. God gave His only-begotten Son to save man… man sold himself to Satan, but Jesus bought back the race….” MYP 69

“Fallen man is Satan’s lawful captive. The mission of Jesus Christ was to rescue him from his power.” MYP 51

“We have mortgaged ourselves to Satan, but Christ came to ransom and redeem us.” TMK 83.5

“Christ offered himself as a willing sacrifice in our behalf. He stooped from His high place in heaven to rescue human beings from the slavery of sin.” YI, Jan 3, 1901

“It was that you might be freed from the slavery of sin that He died on Calvary’s cross. He died that through faith in Him, you might be free indeed, and stand fast in the glorious liberty of the children of God.” Becho, March 26, 1894.

“Jesus has purchased you from the slavery of sin and death, in order that he may make you sons of God.” YI, Nov 23, 1893 par.6

“He pledged Himself to take man’s nature, and stand at the head of the human race, to satisfy every claim made against them as a people bound in the slavery of sin. Through this gift of God to the world man has been given every opportunity of knowing God and the laws of His government.” ST, Nov 15, 1899.

“It was love for sinners that led Christ to pay the price of redemption. ‘He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor,’ none other could ransom men and women from the power of the enemy…” PK 692

“His sacrifice was our ransom from slavery of sin.” RH Jan 25, 1898

When Adam fell and lost the liberty of a son of God, and brought himself into captivity to Satan, infinite pity filled the heart of Jesus. He took the field of conflict to fight in man's behalf, that all who desired to leave the cruel bondage of the "god of this world," might be set free, to serve the living God. Through all the lowly experiences of life, the exalted Son of God, consented to pass, step by step, from the manger to the cross; for "he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham." And "he was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." In the wilderness he fasted forty days, and was tried by every subtle temptation that the prince of darkness could devise. Weak and emaciated from hunger, worn and haggard with mental agony, he suffered the depth of temptation and sorrow, and "he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him." The nature of man had become so weakened by transgression, that it was an impossibility for him to overcome in his own strength; for he was led captive at the will of Satan; but, through the strength of Christ, every one may be an overcomer. We may be more than conquerors through Him who has "loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood." {RH, February 28, 1888 par. 3}
