How does Jesus accomplish the redemption of humality?

Answer 1

The word redeem means to buy back, especially of purchasing a slave with a view to his freedom.

In The Bible this word is used to talk about the deliverance by Christ of Christian Jews from the Law and its curse. Also it is used to talk about setting people free from the bondage of sin.

From the begining of human history man rebelled against God, all people born since are sinners that is they don't have a relationship with God the creator and sustainer of life. God said the way for a person to restore his/her relationship with God was through a blood sacrifice. You can read about the history of Abraham and later the nation of Israel and the sacrifices made for sin, by them, in the Old Testament.

Jesus came as the' lamb of God' and died a suitable sacrifice for the sin of all of mankind.

Joh 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

This redemption, buying back a 'slave to sin' is available to all people.

1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man Christ Jesus,

1Ti 2:6 who gave himself to redeem the whole human race. ...................

A person must admit they don't have a relationship with God, they must believe God has made it possible (through Christ) for a them to put their relationship right with God and accept God's gift of eternal life through Christ.

The alternative is eternal death.
