At What Price

Some of the typological “purchases” made in the Bible have to do with extraordinary “purchases” of women.

At Genesis 3, God redeems (purchases) Eve with the shed blood of an animal.

At Ruth, Boaz redeems his kinsman by paying a cost and meeting certain conditions.

At Hosea, Gomer is purchased from the auction blocks and restored to her former status.

At Calvary, Christ purchases His church/bride, redeeming her.

The cost? In part, his shed blood!

Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
