Redemption

Humanity set free from sin and its consequences through the work of Christ

Redemption is the deliverance of humanity from sin and its consequences through the work of Christ. Passages such as Ephesians 1:7 and Colossians 1:14 speak of redemption and the forgiveness of sins found in him. The image evokes a setting-free, a release from bondage, accomplished by Christ on behalf of those he came to save, and stands at the center of Christian understandings of salvation.
