You can love Jesus, want to obey God, and still feel pulled back toward the same sin you thought you had left behind. That struggle can make you wonder: If Jesus set me free, why do I still feel trapped?

In this episode, Ted Ross explains what redemption through the blood of Jesus really means and how Christ’s sacrifice frees us from sin’s penalty and bondage. Jesus gave His life as a ransom, paying the price we could never pay ourselves.

But being redeemed does not mean every old desire, temptation, or habit disappears immediately. Jesus breaks sin’s mastery, and then we learn to live in the freedom He has already purchased.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why wanting to change is not the same as being able to free yourself
• What it means that Jesus paid your ransom
• Why old temptations can remain even after you have been redeemed
• Why sin is no longer your master
• How to put off old patterns, renew your thinking, and practice a new response
• How passages such as Romans 6, Ephesians 1, and Hebrews 9 help explain redemption and freedom through Christ

When an old habit or temptation tries to take control again, remember what Jesus has already done. You have been redeemed. Sin does not own you.

Identify one habit that still tries to rule you. When it appears, turn your attention back to God through Scripture, prayer, and praise, and begin practicing a response that reflects who you are now in Christ.

Live from the freedom Jesus already purchased for you through His blood.
