REDEMPTION PLAN THROUGH JESUS’ HUMANITY AND DIVINITY
THE SEED
“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.” Galatians 4:4–5
Many people feel distant from God, thinking He could never understand their struggles. But when we come to know Jesus; fully God and fully human; we realise that He experienced pain, temptation, and loss just like we do. His divinity makes Him the perfect Saviour, and His humanity makes Him the perfect mediator. This powerful truth helps us understand why only Jesus could redeem us. When we embrace His sacrifice by faith, we can rest in the assurance that He walked in our shoes to bring us back to God. Humanity’s sin separated us from God, and the law required a blood sacrifice for forgiveness, yet animal sacrifices were insufficient. At the appointed time, God sent His Son, born as a human under the law, to offer the perfect, sinless sacrifice and fulfil the requirement for our redemption (Galatians 4:4–5). Jesus’ humanity allowed Him to empathise with our struggles. He became our advocate, fully understanding our weaknesses and emotions. Salvation depends on both His divinity and humanity. He had to be fully God to conquer sin and fully human to represent us. Accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour is essential for redemption. Are you still rejecting His offer of sonship? Whether things are going well for you or not, there is an end to this life. Where will you spend eternity when this world passes away?

PRAYER: Lord, help me to walk in the freedom and identity You have given me. Fill me with Your Spirit so that my life reflects the inheritance I have in You.
