To “redeem” means to buy back. Redemption is about reclaiming something. Say you left your watch at a pawn shop in exchange for a loan. To redeem your watch, you would need to repay the loan plus interest, and then you could get your watch back. When ownership of an object is regained through payment, you can say the item has been redeemed. Of cour...
When the Pharisees of Jesus’ day heard Jesus offer His followers freedom, they snapped back, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” (John 8:33). In other words, “We have never been anyone’s slaves.” But Jesus’ response holds the key: “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoeverc...
No amount of money could pay for our death penalty. Not a million dollars or a billion dollars or even a trillion dollars. And the redemption of mankind collectively requires paying the death penalty for every sin committed by every human being throughout all time. The only payment that could satisfy that demand—the only thing valuable enough and p...
Jesus told His disciples, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).

Once our sins are paid for by the inestimable price of Jesu...
But suppose somebody has been redeemed and yields to God in every way until the day he or she dies—then what? For the redeemed Christian who “overcomes” and keeps Jesus’ “works until the end,” there is God’s secure, unwavering promise of redemption from the grave (Revelation 2:26; Romans 6:22). Jesus called this “the resurrection of life,” which wi...
God has a plan of redemption for the whole world, and He is currently unfolding it, beginning with those whose eyes are opened to their own bondage. Part of the gospel’s thrust is that God offers redemption. Upon heartfelt repentance, a person can have freedom from the power of sin and have his or her debt cleared through Christ’s blood. At that po...
Oct 25, 2023 · Everyone is in need of redemption. Our natural condition was characterized by guilt: “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Christ’s redemption has freed us from guilt, being “justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24).
Redemption represents God’s act of saving and delivering people from sin, evil, and death – it’s a concept woven throughout the Old Testament and also finds its fulfillment in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
