By means of him [Jesus] we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses.—Eph. 1:7.

In this permissive world, sin has all but lost its stigma, so that many are unaware of the need for redemption. They do not understand what sin is, how it affects us, and what we need to do to be delivered from slavery to sin. Honesthearted ones are relieved to learn that Jehovah, out of his great love and undeserved kindness, sent his Son to earth to ransom us from sin and its consequence, death. (1 John 4:9, 10) The ransom sacrifice of Christ is the greatest proof of God’s love for us and illustrates the richness of His undeserved kindness. What a relief it is to learn that if we exercise faith in the shed blood of Jesus, our sins will be forgiven and our conscience will be cleansed! (Heb. 9:14) Good news indeed to share with others! w16.07 4:6, 7

Paul emphasized that Jehovah had no obligation to redeem fallen mankind, but he did "according to the riches of His undeserved kindness." The love he has for us moved Him to make special arrangements to rescue us.What a loving God Jehovah is to care for us sinful creatures in the biggest way possible. May I show Him daily that I am thankful.
