Homiletic Review Psalm 130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. I. REDEMPTION implies captivity to the penalty and power of sin; release into safety and liberty; and the ransom of the obedience and suffering of Jesus. Faith secures release by appropriating the work of Christ, which abolishes penalty, and the work of the Holy Spirit, which regenerates and so changes the whole nature as to deliver from penalty. II. THIS REDEMPTION IS PLENTEOUS. 1. In the breadth of forgiveness, covering all offenders and offences, and removing them out of the sight of God. 2. In covering the breadth of man's need, Christ saves to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25). Mind, heart, conscience, and will all purged by the power of redeeming blood. 3. In the freedom and fulness of infinite grace such a price — such love — such provision even for non-partakers. III. IT IS WITH HIM. God the Father devised, the Son executes, the Spirit applies the scheme. No hope or help in man for himself or fellow-man. (Homiletic Review.)
