Understanding more and more of Greek is so rich. It is like reading in color. For our one English word for “Redeemed/Redemption, there are three Greek words.
agorazo - has the meaning of “to buy in the market place”
exagorazo - has the meaning of “to buy out of the market place, never to be resold”
lutroo - has the meaning of “to loose, or set free by paying a ransom”
We put them together and it says:
Christ bought us out of the slave market of sin. We are eternally secure in Christ. Christ set us free from sin’s bondage by paying the price sin demanded – DEATH!
This is redemption! We are bought with a price. We are not our own. We belong to the Lord!! Walk Worth of our very worth God!
