All God's children who are forgiven of their sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ are redeemed and set apart. They are redeemed from eternal spiritual death to eternal spiritual life with God. They are redeemed from sickness and disease. They are redeemed from the burden of guilt and shame. They are redeemed from lack and material poverty. They are able to possess God's richest blessings through faith in God's word and being obedient to the directions of the Holy Spirit. Redemption is a complete regeneration of a person's spirit so that they are new creations in Christ. Old things are passed away; all things are become new.
