Redemption
Redemption means "to purchase or buy back." In Hebrew, this word designates a process by which something alienated may be recovered for its original owner by paying a sum of money. In New Testament times, this typically referred to slaves being bought back.
Spiritually speaking, redemption carries great significance. Although God was our original owner, rebellion alienated humanity from Him. Every person is born as a slave to sin and needs to be purchased for freedom. The word redemption indicates how the debt was paid and the account settled.
After Adam and Eve sinned, they tried to cover themselves with fig leaves (Gen. 3:7). But God did not want humans to redeem themselves through their own efforts. What kind of clothing did He provide
(Gen. 3:21)?
