We've the 3Rs on earth. You know, reuse, reduce and recycle? Yeah, that night during my qt, I realised that with our walk with Christ there is also the 2Rs which is more important than that previous 3Rs I mentioned. He is our Redeemer and our Refuge .
Redeemer;
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer. His blood redeems our sins. Ephesians 1:7-8 "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding." Why is redemption needed? It is because we human, sin! It is for the blood of Christ that our sins have been washed away. Sin is basically like human selfishness. Psalms 103:4 "who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion" Then, we can be sin-free and lead a Christ-liked life (: Even though He who redeems us already have cleared our sins, but humans will be humans. We will fall back to temptation and then sin again. Thats when we must remember to REPENT.
Refuge;
He is our tower of refuge! Like some of the worship songs we sing such as " our tower of refuge..." "a refuge for my soul.." He will be there for us at times when its bad, even when its good He will always be there. Psalms 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Yes, He will be there to help us, He will be a tower that never collapse! Psalms 91:2 "I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust" Yes, trust in Him with all your heart! Lean your ladder towards Him. Go to Him when there's area of doubt, go to Him when you feel like the whole world is against you, because He is for you. He will never reject you, He will welcome you with open arms.
