Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ephesians 1:7
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
7. In whom —"the Beloved" ( Ephesians 1:6 ; Romans 3:24 ). we have —as a present possession. redemption — Greek, " our (literally, ' the ') redemption"; THE redemption which is the grand subject of all revelation, and especially of the New Testament ( Romans 3:24- : ), namely, from the power, guilt, and penal consequences of sin ( Matthew 1:21 ). If a man were unable to redeem himself from being a bond-servant, his kinsman might redeem him ( Leviticus 25:48 ). Hence, antitypically the Son of God became the Son of man, that as our kinsman He might redeem us ( Leviticus 25:48- : ). Another "redemption" follows, namely, that "of the purchased possession" hereafter ( Leviticus 25:48- : ). through his blood — ( Leviticus 25:48- : ); as the instrument; the propitiation, that is, the consideration (devised by His own love) for which He, who was justly angry ( Isaiah 12:1 ), becomes propitious to us; the expiation, the price paid to divine justice for our sin ( Acts 20:28 ; Romans 3:25 ; 1 Corinthians 6:20 ; Colossians 1:20 ; 1 Peter 1:18 ; 1 Peter 1:19 ). the forgiveness of sins — Greek, "the remission of our transgressions ": not merely " pretermission, " as the Greek ( Romans 3:25 ) ought to be translated. This "remission," being the explanation of "redemption," includes not only deliverance from sin's penalty, but from its pollution and enslaving power, negatively; and the reconciliation of an offended God, and a satisfaction unto a just God, positively. riches of his grace — ( Ephesians 2:7 ); "the exceeding riches of His grace." Compare Ephesians 1:18 ; Ephesians 3:16 , "according to the riches of His glory": so that "grace" is His "glory." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
