titus 2:14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Here we have the apostle Paul giving us to understand the value and efficaciousness of being redeemed by the blood of Christ. For the redemption was for the purpose of causing good works from the ones being redeemed.. Jesus Christ redeeming blood is the basis for becoming a new creation, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God before hand prepared that we [ the redeemed] should walk therein..eph 2:
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
The good works in eph 2 10 and the good works in titus 2 14 are the same..
So redemption brings about the accomplishment of the foreordained good works God created us for..
In Isa 43 1 we see the connection again with redemption and creation:
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
Now back to titus 2 14, the word redeem here is the greek word:
lytro? which means:
) to release on receipt of ransom
2) to redeem, liberate by payment of ransom
a) to liberate
b) to cause to be released to one's self by payment of a ransom
c) to redeem
d) to deliver: from evils of every kind, internal and external
To be redeemed is to be delivered, released, liberated from all the evil consequences of sin and death, the works of the devil, occurring when man [ in Adam] sinned against God.
At that time, man became by nature a captive to the devil..[ 2 tim 2:26]
But notice as one of the definitions of redeem implies, redemption is the deliverance from all internal evil too..
This deliverance is accomplished by giving the redeemed a new creation, to give them a new birth, a new man per eph 4:24
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
This was Gods purpose in the death of Christ, to create anew those whom Jesus Christ redeemed through His blood..
The shall of the redeemed Isa 51:11
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
The redeem of the LORD shall return to God, from where we apostatized from Him in our natural head Adam..but the death of Christ returns us back to God 1 pet 3:18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Who are the us here peter is referring to ? Why its the elect of God 1 pet 1:
1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Who are the us in titus 2 14 where it says that He might redeem us ? Why its the elect of God per titus 1:
1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
Peter writes this about the effects of the redeeming blood of Christ 1 pet 1:
18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Here a great truth is set before us, and that is, the elect needed to be redeemed from their vain conversation..
What is this peter is talking about ?
The word vain is the greek word:
mataios which means:
devoid of force, truth, success, result
2) useless, of no purpose
The word conversation is the word:
anastroph? and means:
manner of life, conduct, behaviour, deportment
The blood of Christ delivers/ redeems His elect from a useless manner of life, be it immoral or false religion..
Paul wrote in galations Gal 1:
13For ye have heard of my conversation [manner of life] in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
You see, Paul experienced the power of the redeeming blood on the road to damascus, and how it delivered him or redeemed him from His vain manner of life, and brought about the good works he had been redeemed to be zealous of from here on out..
And so it is with all who were redeemed by the blood of Christ, it delivers us from all evil, both externally and internally..and causes us to perform ordained good works !
All those who have been legally redeemed , shall be experimentally redeemed as well, by giving or impartation of holiness, by the Spirit of Holiness, because the blood of Christ has fully met every claim of God against His people, so then, its virtues and purifying effects are applied to them by the Spirit .. 1 pet 1:
2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling [or application] of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
This was not a mans freewill thing, but A Divine Work of the Triune God, a benefit of having a High Priest in Heaven making intercession for those He redeemed by His blood..
