Redemption. ~ Romans 3:24

Romans 3:24, Note.


1 Redemption, "to deliver by paying a price." The New Testament doctrine. The New Testament records the fulfilment of the Old Testament types and rophecies of redemption through the sacrifice of Christ. The completed truth is set forth in the three words which are translated redemption:

(1) agorazo, "to purchase in the market." The underlying thought is of a slave-market. The subjects of redemption are "sold under sin" (Rom. 7:14), but are, moreover, under sentence of death (Ezekiel 18:4; John 3:16, 19; Rom. 3:19; Gal. 3:10), and the purchase price is the blood of the Redeemer who dies in their stead (Gal.3:13; 2 Cor. 5:21; Matt. 20:28; Mark 10:45; 1 Tim. 2:6; 1 Pet. 1:18);

(2) exagorazo, "to buy out of the market." The redeemed are never again to be exposed to sale;

(3) lutroo, "to loose," "to set free by paying a price" (John 8:32; Gal. 4:4, 5, 31; Gal. 5:13; Rom. 8:21).

Redemption is by sacrifice and by power (Ex. 14:30, note); Christ paid the price, the Holy Spirit makes deliverance actual in experience (Rom. 8:2). See also Ex. 14:30, note; Isa. 59:20, note; Rom. 1:16, note.

Exodus

Old Testament Redemption

1 Redemption: (Exodus type) Summary.

Exodus is tne book of redemption, and teaches:

(1) redemption is wholly of God (Ex. 3:7, 8; John 316);

(2) redemption is through a person (Ex. 2:2, note; John 3:16, 17);

(3) redemption is by blood. (Ex. 12:13, 23, 27; I Pet. 1:18);

(4) redemption is by power (Ex. 6:6; Ex. 13:14; Rom. 8:2. See Isa. 59:20, note; Rom. 3:24, note).

The blood of Christ redeems the believer from the guilt and penalty of sin (1 Peter 1:18) as the power of the Spirit delivers from the dominion of sin (Rom. 8:2; Eph. 2:2).

1 Redemption: Kinsman type, summary.

The goel , or Kinsman-Redeemer, is a beautiful type of Christ.
(1) The kinsman redemption was of persons, and an inheritance (Lev. 25:48; 25:25; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:7, 11, 14).

(2) The Redeemer must be a kinsman (Lev. 25:48, 49; Ruth 3:12, 13; Gal. 4:4; Heb. 2:14-15).

(3) The Redeemer must be able to redeem (Ruth 4:4-6; Jer. 50:34; John 10:11, 18).

(4) Redemption is effected by the goel paying the just demand in full (Lev. 25:27; 1 Pet. 1:18, 19; Gal. 3:13). See Ex. 14:30, note; Rom. 3:24, note.

2 The time when the "Redeemer shall come to Zion" is fixed, relatively, by Rom. 11:23-29 as following the completion of the Gentile Church. That is also the order of the great dispensational passage. Acts 15:14-17. In both, the return of the Lord to Zion follows the outcalling of the Church.

1 Moses, type of Christ the Deliverer (Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:18; 2 Cor. 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 1:10):
(1) A divinely chosen deliverer (Exodus 3:7-10; Acts 7:25; John 3:16).

(2) Rejected by Israel he turns to the Gentiles (Exodus 2:11-15; Acts 7:25; Acts 18:5, 6; Acts 28:17-28).

(3) During his rejection he gains a Gentile bride (Ex. 2:16-21; Matt. 12:14-21; 2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:30-32).

(4) Afterward he again appears as Israel's deliverer, and is accepted (Ex. 4:29-31; Rom. 11:24-26; Acts 15:14-17).

(5) Officially, Moses typifies Christ as:

• Prophet (Acts 3:22, 23),
• Advocate (Ex. 32:31-35; 1 John 2:1, 2),
• Intercessor (Ex. 17:1-6; Heb. 7:25),
• and Leader, or King (Deut. 33:4, 5; Isa. 55:4; Heb. 2:10); while, in relation to the house of God, he is in contrast with Christ. Moses was faithful as a servant over another's house; Christ as a Son over His own house (Heb. 3:5, 6).
