Les Feldick Bible Study

Do Christians already have redemption of their soul and spirit?

Yes, Christians already possess the redemption of their soul and spirit, which is already concluded. However, they still await the redemption of the body, which is corruptible and will become incorruptible when they go into the Lord's presence.

Les explains that believers have the firstfruits of the Spirit and groan within themselves waiting for the adoption, that is, the redemption of the body. He says the redemption of the soul and spirit is already concluded, but the body remains corruptible until it becomes incorruptible when we go into the Lord's presence, receive our reward, and return to participate in the kingdom. Les also points to Colossians 1:12, where Paul prays that we give thanks to the Father who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance, noting believers are already members of the kingdom, which is now in heaven but will come to earth.
