In Him (Christ) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace [Ephesians 1:7]
The word 'have' in the original language, Greek, is in the present active indicative, which means, we actively take hold of redemption and the forgiveness of sins, not letting anyone take our redemption for us.
How much are we forgiven? According to the riches of His grace. The day you can measure God's grace is the day you realize how much you're forgiven of your sin!
How can a righteous God forgive us guilty sinners? By a ransom. The word 'redemption' in the Greek means 'to buy back with a ransom'. In other words, your ransom was paid by God in Christ and you are bought back by God to His kingdom!
In Jesus we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.
