Redemption is the act of ransom. In our case it means a ransoming by God of all believers from the slavery of sin and its coming judgment, by the precious blood of Christ. In the Old Testament this was effected by the blood of the lamb (Ex. 12, 13.), or with money (
Num. 3:49, 50
49
And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
50
Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: (Numbers 3:49‑50)
). The effect of redemption is the exact counterpart of purchase, though both are effected by the work of Christ; the former makes me Christ’s freedman, while the latter buys me to serve God as Christ’s bondman.
