Redemption
 

What redeems us? Is it faith in the blood of christ and his sacrifice or faith in the life of christ and following his sermon on the mount example?

Re: Redemption
 

The blood of Jesus redeems us.
The life of Christ in us transforms us to follow his sermon on the mount.

We put our faith in the blood of Jesus to partake of God's redemption.
We yield our wills to the Holy Spirit to partake of Christ's life in us which results in living the sermon on the mount lifestyle.

1 Peter 1
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

Eph 1
4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love
5 he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—
6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us

Col 1
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
