Psalm 107:2
I like the way the New American Standard Bible words this verse, it is so plain and can not be misinterpreted.
*Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out and tell others that he has redeemed you from you enemies.*
Webster's dictionary says that the meaning of redeemed is> to but or pay off, to buy back, to recover. But it also means to me> to be rescued, to be delivered, to be set free, to be restored.
Has God saved you out of a life of sin? Has he set you free from addictions or a life style of shame? Has he rescued you from abuse or danger? Has he stored your health back to you? Then you need to say so! You are the most qualified to share with the world what God has done for you and in you . There is someone else out there who is living as you once did that needs to know that Christ is waiting to redeem them also.
Consider the life of the Apostle Paul; Paul hated christians so badly that he hunted them down and prosecuted and persecuted them. But, one day God touch him and changed his life and set him free. From that day on Paul's ministry was based on his testimony of what Christ did for him. That is exactly what God is asking us to do.
Psalm 107: 32 says * Let the redeemed exalt him in the congregation of people and praise him in the assembly of the elders.*
Jesus saved us from our sins and the penalty of death. He made us sons and daughters of God. We have all the qualifications we need to as Mark 16:15 says> *Go ye therefore into all the world and preach the gospel to all men .*
