Redemption

From the Greek apolutrosis, to pay a price to satisfy a debt. In Christianity, redemption means to free someone from bondage. It often involves the paying of a ransom, a price that makes redemption possible. The Israelites were redeemed from Egypt. The elect, through the work of Jesus on the cross, are redeemed from the power of sin and the curse of the Law.
See: Gal. 3:13; Rom. 3:24; Col. 1:14; 1 Cor. 6:20; 7:23
