trover Redemption the purchase back of something that had been lost ,
by the payment of a ransom .
The Greek word so rendered is _apolutrosis_ ,
a word occurring nine times in Scripture ,
and always with the idea of a ransom or price paid ,
i .
e .,
redemption by a lutron (
see Matt .
20 :
28 ;
Mark 10 :
45 ).
There are instances in the LXX .
Version of the Old Testament of the use of _lutron_ in man '
s relation to man (
Lev .
19 :
20 ;
25 :
51 ;
Ex .
21 :
30 ;
Num .
35 :
31 ,
32 ;
Isa .
45 :
13 ;
Prov .
6 :
35 ),
and in the same sense of man '
s relation to God (
Num .
3 :
49 ;
18 :
15 ).
There are many passages in the New Testament which represent Christ '
s sufferings under the idea of a ransom or price ,
and the result thereby secured is a purchase or redemption (
comp .
Acts 20 :
28 ;
1 Cor .
6 :
19 ,
20 ;
Gal .
3 :
13 ;
4 :
4 ,
5 ;
Eph .
1 :
7 ;
Col .
1 :
14 ;
1 Tim .
2 :
5 ,
6 ;
Titus 2 :
14 ;
Heb .
9 :
12 ;
1 Pet .
1 :
18 ,
19 ;
Rev .
5 :
9 ).
The idea running through all these texts ,
however various their reference ,
is that of payment made for our redemption .
The debt against us is not viewed as simply cancelled ,
but is fully paid .
Christ '
s blood or life ,
which he surrendered for them ,
is the "
ransom "
by which the deliverance of his people from the servitude of sin and from its penal consequences is secured .
It is the plain doctrine of Scripture that "
Christ saves us neither by the mere exercise of power ,
nor by his doctrine ,
nor by his example ,
nor by the moral influence which he exerted ,
nor by any subjective influence on his people ,
whether natural or mystical ,
but as a satisfaction to divine justice ,
as an expiation for sin ,
and as a ransom from the curse and authority of the law ,
thus reconciling us to God by making it consistent with his perfection to exercise mercy toward sinners " (
Hodge '
s Systematic Theology ).
