Fact
We don’t know the exact date of the birth of God’s Son—It is not
recorded in the Bible and God did not choose to preserve the exact
day. But
This is what we do know—it was the right day.

The word redemption comes from the Greek word agorazo
and means “to purchase in the marketplace.” Frequently, it
had to do with the sale of slaves in the marketplace. The word is
used to describe the believer being purchased out of the
slave market of sin and set free from sin’s bondage. The
purchase price for the believer’s freedom and release from sin was the death of Jesus
Christ.

In this rite, four things happened.
1] The adopted person lost all rights in his old family and gained all the rights of a fully
legitimate son in his new family.
2] He became heir to his new father’s estate.
3] The old life of the adopted person was completely wiped out. For instance, legally all
debts were cancelled; they were wiped out as if they had never been incurred.
4] In the eyes of the law, the adopted person was literally and absolutely the son of his new father.
