Genesis 4

Genesis chapter 4 Bible Gateway link NIV: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=1&chapter=4&version=31

 

Redemption comes at a very high price. Taking your life, or being killed is the easy way out, and of course God knows this. No……redemption does not come from death. Redemption comes from sacrifice. It comes form atonement, and the realization that you are not as important as you think you are.  Jesus himself told us in Mark 10:43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. It is by becoming selfless, and magnifying God that we start to redeem ourselves. The Lord is a forgiving God, he wants us to walk with him, however once we walk away from him, it is a long road back. We are all sinners, and we have all fallen short. That is why it is up to each of us to help our fellow brethren when they fall, not beat them. We are all searching for redemption on some level, let not one of us forget that and start to puff with pride! It is in the name of the Lord, and for the Lord that we toil away, there is no room for jealousy, there is no need; if you want to be first, you must be a slave to all.
