As we continue our journey through this hymn of praise which serves as an encouragement and call to worship prepare to respond and give Him glory. Let’s tune our hearts.
Blood Shed
He showered us with grace. How?
By forgiving our trespasses. How?
By shedding His blood. Without the shedding of blood there is not remission of sin. When Jesus willing shed His bold for us it changed everything.
O perfect redemption the purchase of blood
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, Ephesians 1:7 ESV
Simply put, our redemption has been purchased with the blood of Jesus. Our sins had separated us from God and we had no way back. That is until Christ offered His life to pay from our trepasses, all the ways we had violated the law of God. Give Him glory!
This stanza continues the rationale for giving God glory which began in the first. Here we consider a bit more explicitly the impact that the atonement has. It purchased a redemption for us that is perfect, like the One who offered His blood for it. Thank Jesus for offering His blood.
RESONATE!
Take a few moments and consider the price Jesus paid for your redemption. Though perfect He willingly shed His blood to purchase your redemption. Make this your simple prayer “Jesus, thank You for offering Your blood.”
Promise Kept
The only way God could keep His promise was to make a way for redemption to occur for every one who would believe. The only way to offer redemption was the shedding of blood. The only way to access that is to believe.
To every believer the promise of God
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 ESV
Every believer. What a powerful, all-inclusive statement! Redemption is available to everyone who believes. And look at this short list of things that come with it: courage, strength, help, and support from none other than God Himself. Put your trust in Him today and believe.
Believing in the finished work of Jesus Christ alone to make us right with the Father gives us access to this incredible promise. We tend to complicate this simple transaction, adding rules and regulations. We need only to believe. That faith allows us to begin to walk in the promise.
RESONATE
Take a few moments and consider the promise of God. You access it by believing. Will you believe today? Pray a simple prayer like this one, “Spirit, help me to believe God’s promise.”
Jesus, thank You for granting me access to your promises and then giving me the faith to believe. I had no hope of getting back to You until you made the way through Your blood. So I give You praise. In Jesus’ name.

Welcome to Tuesday Tunings at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s tune our hearts.
O perfect redemption the purchase of blood
To every believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
This stanza continues the rationale for giving God glory which began in the first. Here we consider a bit more explicitly the impact that the atonement has. It purchased a redemption for us that is perfect, like the One who offered His blood for it. Thank Jesus for offering His blood.
Jesus, thank You for offering Your blood.
Believing in the finished work of Jesus Christ alone to make us right with the Father gives us access to this incredible promise. We tend to complicate this simple transaction, adding rules and regulations. We need only to believe. That faith allows us to begin to walk in the promise.
Spirit, help me to believe God’s promise.
The great apostle Paul saw himself as the chief of sinners. We must be willing to humble ourselves and admit that in comparison to God, there are only gradients of difference between us and the vilest offender. Even still, we all have access to pardon if we will simply believe.
Lord, forgive my many offenses.
When we believe we do not have to wait for pardon. It comes immediately for it has already been promised and purchased. Our belief allows God to apply it to our lives, and to do so liberally. Have you confessed your faith in Jesus? Do it today, for the first time or again.
Jesus, my faith is in You alone.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has surfaced in your heart, or just listen to what He is saying to you, then we will sing once more.
Praise the Lord praise the Lord Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord praise the Lord Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory great things He has done
Take the awareness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
