Redemption is one of the better-known words used byGod to refer to the salvation we have in the Lord Jesus Christ.In the Old Testament redemption was based on the concept of deliverance and of purchase. Israel's experience when theycame out of Egypt is typical in many ways to what happend when a sinner is redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Israel was redeemed out of bondage in Egypt. The believer today is redeemed out of the bondage of sin. See Exodus 13:14-15. The sacrificing of the firstborn or redeeming of the firstborn referred back to the time in Egypt when Israel was set free from bondage. The words redeem and redemptionare used many times in the Old Testament to describe whattook place at the first Passover. This gives us the firstdefinition for redemption which is deliverance.
Another idea put forth in the Old Testament forredemption is buying back. Leviticus 25 gives detailedinstructions on how the land was to be held and purchased bythe Israelites. The word redeemed, is used with the idea ofbuying back. So in the Old Testament redeemed is used tomean deliverance and to buy back. This Old Testamentbackground will help us to understand what Paul means when he uses the word redeemed or redemption. The believer isdelivered from the bondage of sin and bought back to God hrough the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
