Message in Brief

In this sermon, Pastor Ratna Maitra reflects on Titus 2:14, highlighting how Jesus Christ offered Himself to redeem us from all unrighteousness and lawlessness. Drawing a historical contrast with ancient slave markets, she explains that Christ did not purchase us to exploit us, but to pay our ransom and set us free from the bondage of sin. Through His precious blood and sacrifice, believers are purified and set apart as His special possession. Having been delivered from sin's slavery, believers are now called to live as servants of righteousness, eagerly engaged in good works that bring glory to God and bless those around them.

Key Truths
