Romans 3:24
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Redemption is God buying us back, to liberate by releasing us from the blame, and to gain the title by payment that is necessary to convert us into something of value. It's not that we have the expiation of sin by the life, sufferings, and death of Jesus—because there is no sacrificial atonement in the death of Jesus for the sins of humanity. It's not that Jesus was intended to meet the demands of the law of God that would make such a moral impression upon humans in favor of God, that this would render our forgiveness from sin. And in the end we would have divine justice that made the forgiveness of humanity possible.
The deliverance is in the state of grace from God, who has chosen to deliver us from sin. We are therefore redeemed because Christ, who is the redeemer, paid the price to buy us back. How our heavenly Father’s heart must long to have His children come home and be freed from the spiritual chains of darkness that have gripped so many in the world.
