God's buy-back

Excerpt from today's devotional reading by Bill Freeman:

"...redeem literally means not just to buy, but to buy back. It means not just to purchase, but to repurchase.~~~To buy back implies that we originally belonged to God. We were already in His heart. We were already His property. Before we were born, before the foundation of the world, we were God's own possession and property. We got lost as His property. But He found us and redeemed us. He bought us back.~~~It is not merely a future salvation that we have~that we are going to heaven and not going to hell.~~~We have been bought back, repurchased at the price of the blood of Jesus, in order to be restored back to the purpose for which we were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. !!!!!!!

This is not about survival and "just making it in." This is about abundance of life and knowing the purpose for my daily breath. Annie
