REDEMPTION

Redemption means to deliver by paying a price. The work of Christ fulfilling the OT types and prophecies of redemption is set forth in three principal Greek words.

Agorozo - to buy in the market

Man is viewed as a slave sold to sin.

ROM 7:14, "For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin."

ROM 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

He is redeemed by the purchase price of the blood of the Redeemer.

1CO 6:20, "For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. "

Exagorozo - to buy out of the market, to purchase and remove from further sale

1CO 7:23, "You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men."GAL 4:4-5, "But when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Lutroo - to loose or set free, used commonly to indicate the release of a slave

TIT 2:11, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus; 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
