What is meant by redemption? To be redeemed is to be bought back. Paul reminds the Christians in Corinth, "For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body." (1 Cor. 6:20)
When Jesus died and was buried, his followers were bereft of hope. They felt lost and confused. They did not immediately understand Christ's command as he was approaching his death to “Look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:28)
The Lord instructed them to expect their redemption. The same applies to all who put their trust in the Son of God.
We are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb of God. We are sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and we are called to proclaim redemption to all who sincerely repent and turn in faith to God Father, God Son, and God Holy Spirit.
There is no redemption for the unrepentant. There is no redemption apart from that offered through the death of and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is no justification without redemption.
