Do you feel you understand a biblical worldview of redemption? Why is it important for you to do so?

Perhaps the old Sunday School song teaches it best. He paid a debt he did not owe I owed debt. I could not pay. I needed someone to wash my sins away but now I sing a brand new song amazing Grace Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.
I have the privilege of teaching Old Testament survey to ninth graders and Bible doctrine to 10th graders, and I promise you that little Sunday school song is full of sound theology.

I now have a much better understanding of its value and need to be threaded throughout the course of the academic year – especially the Biblical clarification of the whole experience as recorded in Hebrews (chapter 9 specifically).

I understand that Jesus willingly sacrificed Himself to save me from my sins and pay the price I should have paid. It’s important that I understand this so I can share the saving grace of God’s great mercy with my students.

The price of my sin has been paid by the blood of Christ. I have been redeemed. This is important so that I understand that it is nothing I have done, it’s everything Christ has done. I am chosen, and so are my students.
