The History of Redemption
Episode #5: The History of Redemption 1. The Fall of Man and the Need for Redemption
- Adam and Eve fell because of deception (Genesis 3:1-6).
- Satan twisted God's words, leading them to question God's goodness and authority.
- Their choice to sin separated mankind from God's presence and introduced death (Romans 5:12).
- Since the fall, everything God has done was to regain fellowship with mankind.
- His plan was not just to forgive sin but to restore intimate relationship with His people.
- "You cannot put new wine into old wineskins" (Matthew 9:17).
- Old wineskins (our sinful nature) cannot contain the new life of the Holy Spirit.
- A complete transformation is required—we must be born again (John 3:3-6).
- Man must be born again before he can receive the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17).
- In the Old Testament, the Spirit came upon people temporarily.
- After redemption, the Spirit could dwell within believers permanently.
- The law was instituted to guide Israel toward purity (Exodus 19-20).
- It revealed God's holiness and humanity's need for a Savior.
- However, the law was external—it couldn't change the human heart (Romans 3:20).
- Something cannot be redeemed by something of lesser value.
- Animal sacrifices in the Old Testament were temporary coverings (Hebrews 10:1-4).
- Only Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God, could provide eternal redemption (John 1:29).
- Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to do away with it (Matthew 5:17).
- The law pointed to our need for a Savior.
- Jesus completed what the law could not do—provide permanent reconciliation with God.
- The law relied on human effort.
- People had to continually offer sacrifices and strive for righteousness.
- What Jesus did was all on God.
- Salvation was entirely God's work—it was His initiative and His sacrifice.
- Jesus' death and resurrection made redemption available to all who believe (Ephesians 2:8-9).
- God did what needed to be done in order to have a relationship with man.
- From the Garden of Eden to the cross, His purpose has been to restore what was lost.
- Through Jesus, we are not just forgiven, we are adopted as children of God (Romans 8:15-17).
- Redemption is about returning to God's original plan—walking with Him in intimacy, as Adam and Eve once did.
