Redeem: "To ransom, liberate, or rescue from captivity or bondage, or from any obligation or liability to suffer or to be forfeited, by paying a price or ransom; to ransom; to rescue; to recover; as, to redeem a captive, a pledge, and the like."
Redeemer: "one charged with the duty of restoring the rights of another and avenging his wrongs. ... This title is peculiarly applied to Christ. He redeems us from all evil by the payment of a ransom."
Redemption:"the purchase back of something that had been lost, by the payment of a ransom. ... The debt against us is not viewed as simply cancelled, but is fully paid. Christ's blood or life, which he surrendered for them, is the "ransom" by which the deliverance of his people from the servitude of sin and from its penal consequences is secured."
Ephesians 1:7 [NLT]: "He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins."
Colossians 1:13-14 [NLT]: "For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins."
"To Know Your Name"
Hillsong United
"The precious blood of Jesus Christ redeems,
Forgiven I’m alive, restored, set free.
Your majesty resides inside of me,
Forever I believe,
Forever I believe.
Arrested by your truth and righteousness,
Your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness.
Convicted by your Spirit, led by Your Word.
Your love will never fail,
Your love will never fail.
‘Cause I know you gave,
The world Your only Son for us
To know your name,
To live within the Savior's love.
And He took my place,
Knowing He’d be crucified,
And You loved,
You loved,
A people undeserving!"
