Redeemed Man
G John Thimothy
Meaning: Redemption means “loosing”, God’s work for the salvation of man kind,
particularly redemption from the dominion and curse of sin. Christ atonement is the price
paid for the redemption, Christ is the redeemer, and there are various stages of redemption
and effect of God’s gracious work.
Christ the Redeemer: Even the triune God involves in the redemption work, “God
commanded his love”, “christ Dead” , “Holy Spirit convicts” (Romans 5:8; John 3:16;Eph
1:13,14), still for the reason above named, the son of God as Redeemer of the mankind
(Romans 3:24; Galatians 3:13;Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 Cor 1:30)
Redemption in Law: The children of Israel are called “the redeemedd of the Lord” (Isiah
62:12 cf 35:9). “Nearest kinsman” is the redeemer in Israel. Redeemers are reckoned
fullbrothers, next to them fathers brothers, then full cousins, finally the other blood
relatives of t he clan (Lev 25:48-49). Chief work of redeemer is “redeem a brother in
distress”.
Redemption from the sin: Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law (Galatians
3:16) and from the death (1 cor 15:56). We can read “Bondage of satan” as the “head of the
kingdom of darkness” and “bondage of death” as the “penality of sin” (Acts 26:18; Heb 2:14-
15).
Redemption of Earth: Cursed earth is groaning for its redemption. It is to be renewed
and gloried by the gracious hand of God. On Cross Christ purchased the entire universe.It
can be termed as “Universal Redemption”, because it offered to entire things in universe
including the serpant. All of creation will be restored to its original, harmless state—snakes
included.
Redemption of mankind: As Christ purchased entire universe including human kind but
it offered to those who believed on him by the faith given by God. Whosoever believe on
the Lord Jesus Chrsit they receive the forgivness of sins and the power to begin to live a holy
life. Dominion of Satan and death lost its sting. Redemption of mankind limited to those
who believe.

Redemption of time and Complete Redemption: As redeeemed person we need to
walk by “redeeming the time, because the days of evil” (Eph 5:16). And we as redeemed
people looking forward to the redemption of body ( Heb 2:9; Acts 3:19; Eph 1:7; Acts
26:18; 2 Timothy 2:26; 1 Cor 15:55-57;Romans 8:15-23)
