REDEMPTION
Deliverance by payment of a price. In the New Testament, redemption
refers to salvation from sin, death, and the wrath of God by Christ's
sacrifice. In the Old Testament, the word redemption refers to
redemption by a KINSMAN <Lev. 25:24,51-52; Ruth 4:6; Jer. 32:7-8>,
rescue or deliverance <Num. 3:49>, and ransom <Ps. 111:9; 130:7>. In the
New Testament it refers to loosing <Luke 2:38; Heb. 9:12> and loosing
away <Luke 21:28; Rom. 3:24; Eph. 1:14>.
