Repentance from sin
In other words the ransom price was in the form of a
punishent, not against mankind but instead against Jesus
Christ himself.
There are a number of words used in the Bible that have
been translated into redeemed or redemption. They have the
following senses to them;-
To loose by a price; to purchase out; to set free; to tear
away and rescue; division or separate between; to recover
and revenge.
So man's redemption has been achieved and gives him
the opportunity of a new life, eternal life, freedom,
exemption from God's punishment.
A list of Benefits include:-
Freedom from - All iniquity; the curse and bondage of God's
law; the power of sin; a pointless way of life; all evil; all
trouble; distress and adversity; deceit; destruction; death;
Hell; the hand of Satan; our enemies:
And gives us -
Foregiveness of sins;
it brings joy and a holy walk;
it delivers from fear Isaiah 41 v10 'so do not fear for I am
with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God.';
it makes us God's own possesion, not our own Isaiah 43 v 1
' ...fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have summoned
you by name: you are mine.'
