We were once slaves to sin, bound by its power, until He reached through the darkness to redeem us and set us free. Redemption is a metaphor for deliverance from sin and freedom from captivity, achieved through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Jesus brought us out of sin and won us back from its consequences and wages. He entered the court and proved us innocent. With all the evidence being true, He said, “Your Honor, my client is innocent. I have paid the price, waived the punishment, and I am the proof of their innocence.” We are redeemed only through Jesus.
