Redemption

Redemption is “deliverance by paying a ransom.” Sinners are ransomed by the shed blood of Christ, who died in the place of all (Gal. 3:13; II Cor. 5:21; I Tim. 2:6; I Peter 1:18,19), and all would be saved if they believed on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:30; see also John 3:18). Our Lord paid on the cross the ransom for our deliverance, while the Holy Spirit makes that deliverance real in the lives of believers (Rom. 8:2,11)
