Redeemed from Death!


Hosea 12:6, 13:4  
6 So you, by the help of your God, return; observe mercy and justice, and wait on your God continually."  14 “I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues!  O Grave, I will be your destruction!  Pity is hidden from My eyes.”

1 Corinthians 15:54-57.  "54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O Death, where is your sting?  O Hades, where is your victory?”  56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

When we follow God, showing mercy and justice as He does, we are looking forward to the resurrection of completed redemption; He conquered death and hell's power to consume us, and we have certainty in the victory which is in Christ alone!  No longer working to earn salvation, we trust fully and solely in Him.  Let us walk that way.
