In OId Testament times, someone called a kinsmen redeemer would pay a price or ransom to buy back or free someone from a debt, bondange, or obligation, thus restoring their rights and avenging their wrongs. Jesus redeems humanity from bondage to sin through His death on the cross, paying the ultimate ransom to secure spiritual freedom and restore a right relationship with God.
Job 19:25 says, “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.” As our Redeemer, Jesus secured our release from the oppression, harm, and enslavement of evil. Because He lives, our release is forever, even as Jesus rules over heaven and earth for eternity. Jesus paid for our redemption with the precious price of His blood.
