@ -9,5 +9,6 @@ God redeemed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt in the Old Testament (see: Exo
Because Jesus died for people sinning, he redeems people for God. In the New Testament, people talk about sinning, dying, and the law of Moses making people slaves. These are metaphors (see: John 8:34; Romans 5:14; 6:6, 15-17; 7:14). People could not serve God because they were imprisoned by their sinning. People could not do anything to honor God or be at peace with God. They were going to die because they sinned. However, Jesus redeemed people from sinning by dying. Jesus paid the price for people to be free from sinning. They can now belong to God and can do the things that honor him (see: Romans 3:23-25; 6:22; 8:23; Galatians 3:13-14; 4:5; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 9:12; 1 Peter 1:18-19). Redemption happened at the cross. However, Christians still wait for redemption to be completed. That is, when they are able to live forever with God (see: Romans 8:23; Ephesians 1:14; 4:30).
