Subtitle: Yes. He's the great Redeemer.
Excerpt: The article explores redemption in a Biblical Christian context, explaining it as God’s gift of freedom from sin through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice.
Theology on the Lighter Side – What does it mean when Scripture says:
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. - Ephesians 1:7
Webster defines redemption as “the act of serving to offset or compensate for a defect.”
We are sinners (Romans 3:23), and for those who believe in salvation through God’s grace and the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, endured unwarranted torture and death as a payment that offsets our sinful nature. This is the theological definition of redemption.
Biblical redemption is God’s way of freeing those who accept Him from sin and Hell through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It stresses that God is the one who saves, not our own good works or efforts. Redemption brings believers back into a fellowship with God and gives us hope for a future of complete renewal and eternal life in Heaven.
