REDEMPTION

(See RANSOM)

Redemption involves a payment to liberate someone or something (Exodus 6:6; Leviticus 25:23-24; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Galatians 3:13; 4:4-6). Christian redemption emphasizes the purchase of a slave from his former master (sin) so that he is free to serve his new master (God) (Romans 6:22; Galatians 3:13; 4:5). Christ's sacrificial death through His shed blood is the ransom price of man's redemption from sin and for God (Matthew 20:28; Acts 20:28; Hebrews 9:11-15, 22; 10:4-10; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Revelation 5:9 (cf. Psalms 49:7-9).
