What are the results of the atonement arrangement? The Bible uses several expressions to highlight the benefits. Although the meanings of these words overlap, each word emphasizes a certain aspect of the atonement arrangement that opens the way for Jehovah's forgiveness. As we analyze these words, we will also see how they affect us personally.
In the Bible, redemption refers to the releasing, or acquittal, that results because of the payment of the ransom. The apostle Peter expressed it this way: "You know that it was with corruptible things, with silver or gold, that you were set free [lit., you were ransomed; "you were redeemed"] from your futile way of life handed down to you by your forefathers. But it was with precious blood, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, that of Christ. " - 1 PETER 1:18, 19; ftn.
