Redemption


Redemption

Ephesians 1:7

The means of redemption is the sacrificial substitutionary death of Christ (through His blood; cf. Eph. 2:13; 1 Peter 1:19), which completely satisfied God’s justice (Rom. 3:24–25). This was accomplished in accordance with the riches of God’s grace (cf. Eph. 1:6; Eph. 2:7). The cost of Christ’s blood is the measure of the wealth of God’s unmerited favor to every believer. It was accomplished not “out of” but “according to” (kata) the wealth of His grace (cf. Phil. 4:19). Six times in Ephesians Paul referred to God’s riches (Eph. 1:7, Eph. 1:18; Eph. 2:4, Eph. 2:7; Eph. 3:8, Eph. 3:16).

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
