Ransom

　　Job 33:24 (b) The Lord JESUS CHRIST is the only ransom that can deliver us. Job found that ransom, and it may be that Elihu did as well. CHRIST is the only one who could pay the debt and set us free. He must belong to us to be our ransom. (See Matthew 20:28).

　　Job 36:18 (b) This represents the great price which GOD accepted from the Lord JESUS CHRIST at Calvary where the Saviour paid the debt for the sinner. The work of CHRIST does not avail after death.

　　Psalm 49:7 (b) The redeeming of the soul is by the precious Blood of JESUS, and there is no substitute for it. No person, nor priest, can buy salvation for another.

　　1 Timothy 2:6 (a) CHRIST is the ransom for the sinner. No woman, no man, no church, no religion, no good works, no money, no prayers can avail for this purpose. JESUS CHRIST only can pay the debt and set us free.
