[SherryD]

Redemption and the forgives of sins are the two qualities that characterizes "the kingdom of his beloved Son" in verse 14.

The idea of redemption for the Greek meant "buying back" a slave or captive, that is, "making free" by payment of a ransom.

Christ redeemed us by making the payment of ransom with his life for ours.

The significance is that this is God's kingdom yet he paid the price so that we could enter into His kingdom. The fact that our sins are forgiven so that we can enter into God's kingdom shows the magnitude of God's love for us. It's His kingdom and yet He paid the price for us to enter His kingdom. How awesome is He!

Answer:

1.0Redemption and Forgiveness.

2.0 Redemption-

[poetmom]

As Ramon just wrote, the significance of our being redeemed is that we can approach the father boldly. We belong to the kingdom, but we belong with confidence. Many of us, although we know we are forgiven, still underneath it all feel that there has been some mistake, that God must be disappointed in us, that we really don't belong after all. It's important that we remember that we have been bought (no returns) for good, as that confidence enables us to not only enjoy God's presence but to reach out to others and minister. If we continually doubt our own salvation and standing with God, we will not bear much fruit for the kingdom.

Redemption and forgiveness are the qualities mentioned. The idea of redemption in the Greek is to buy back a slave or captive; to make free by paying a ransom which Jesus did by dying on the cross and rising from the grave. The significance of the fact that our sins are forgiven in God’s kingdom is we have hope and a future because we have been pardoned and have eternal life with Jesus.

Q5. (Colossians 1:13-14) What are the two qualities mentioned in verse 14 that characterize the kingdom of his beloved Son? What did the idea of redemption mean in the Greek? In what way did Christ redeem us? What is the significance of the fact that our sins are forgiven in this kingdom?

 

 two qualities mentioned in verse 14 that characterize the kingdom  are  redemption, and the forgiveness of sins. 

 

The kingdom of the Son is the Kindom of God for in the Trinity the Father, the son and the Holy spirit are one. So that the redemption, and the forgiveness of sin are characteristics of the Kingdom of God. We, however, are living in the "between time" - the time between the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the messiah and the Parousia. The time which is now  but not yet-the time in which Paul is writing though he did not expect these in between times would last 2000 years. The kingdom of God is than both now and hereafter. In both of these times are characterized  by redemption and the forgiveness of sins.  

In Greek redemption meant "release from a captive condition, release, redemption, deliverance."

 

Christ has and is redeeming us by His action on the cross. The significance of our sins being forgiven is that we are made righteous by Christ's action for our redemption. we have now put on a cloak of righteousness, a cloaks that hides our sins. These  are washed clean by the ever flowing blood of our saviour.  As Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21 " For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. We gain the arms of Jesus.

Q5. (Colossians 1:13-14) 

• The 2 qualities that characterize The Kingdom of God’s Son are forgiveness and redemption. 
• Redemption means to buy back.  We were meant to be God’s, but we sinned.  Christ’s death on the cross redeemed us.
• God cannot look on sin.  It separates us from Him.  Since our sins have been forgiven, we can fully participate in His kingdom.  We  live in God's grace and mercy.  We can come to Him with our needs.
