The restoration of man
from the bondage of sin
to the liberty of the children of God
through the satisfactions and merits of Christ.
The word redemptio
is the Latin Vulgate
rendering of Hebrew kopher and Greek lytron
which, in the Old Testament
means generally a ransom-price.
In the New Testament,
it is the classic term
designating the "great price"
(1 Corinthians 6:20)
which the Redeemer paid for our liberation.
