Redemption in biblical terms means a release or liberation from bondage, often through the payment of a ransom. In the Old Testament, the concept of redemption is seen in the deliverance of Israel from Egypt (Exodus 6:6) and the Year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:10), where slaves were set free and debts forgiven. In the New Testament, redemption is achieved through the sacrificial death of Jesus, who paid the price for humanity's sins (Ephesians 1:7). This act fulfills the prophetic imagery of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53, who bears the iniquities of many. The term also connects to the kinsman-redeemer role seen in the Book of Ruth, where Boaz redeems Ruth, symbolizing Christ's redeeming work for the Church. the forgiveness of sins Persons / Places / Events 1. Paul the ApostleThe author of the letter to the Colossians, Paul was a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and theological teachings. 2. Colossae An ancient city in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) where the recipients of this letter resided. The church in Colossae was a young congregation facing various doctrinal challenges. 3. Jesus Christ Central to this verse, Jesus is the one "in whom we have redemption." His sacrificial death and resurrection are the foundation of Christian redemption and forgiveness. 4. Redemption A key theological concept referring to the act of being saved from sin. In the original Greek, the word used is (apolutr?sis), which implies a release or liberation, often associated with the payment of a ransom. 5. Forgiveness of Sins This refers to the pardon and removal of sins, a core aspect of Christian salvation. The Greek term (aphesis) denotes a release or letting go, emphasizing the complete removal of sin's penalty. Teaching Points Understanding RedemptionRedemption is not just a theological term but a personal reality for every believer. It signifies being bought back from the bondage of sin through Christ's sacrifice. The Gift of Forgiveness Forgiveness is a divine gift that should lead to gratitude and transformation in our lives. It is not earned but freely given through faith in Jesus. Living in Freedom As recipients of redemption and forgiveness, Christians are called to live in the freedom that Christ provides, no longer enslaved by sin or guilt. Reflecting Christ's Forgiveness Just as we have been forgiven, we are called to forgive others, reflecting the grace and mercy we have received. Assurance of Salvation This verse provides assurance of our salvation, reminding us that our sins are forgiven, and we are redeemed, securing our relationship with God.Verse 14. - In whom we have (or, had) our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins (Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:10-13; Romans 3:19-26; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; 1 Peter 3:18, 19). Ephesians 1:7 suggested to some later copyists the interpolation "through his blood," words highly suitable in the Ephesian doxology. This verse is the complement of the last: there salvation appears as a rescue by sovereign power, here as a release by legal ransom (ἀπο λύτρωσις). The ransom price Christ had declared beforehand (Matthew 20:28; Matthew 26:28; comp. Romans 3:24-26; Galatians 2:20; 1 Timothy 2:6; Hebrews 9:12-14; 1 Peter 1:18; Revelation 1:5, R.V.; Revelation 5:9). "We have redemption" ("had it," according to a few ancient witnesses) in present experience in "the forgiveness of our sins "(vers. 21, 22; Colossians 2:13, 14; Colossians 3:13; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 4:25; Romans 5:1; Romans 8:1; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 9:14; Hebrews 10:1-18; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:7-2:2; 1 John 4:10). Romans 3:24 gives its objective ground. The "redemption of the body" (also bought by the same price, 1 Corinthians 6:20) will make the work complete (Ephesians 1:13, 14; Romans 8:19-23; 1 Corinthians 1:30). Lightfoot suggests that the apostle intends to contradict the doctrine of redemption taught by the Gnostics, who made it consist in initiation into their "mysteries" (see note on ver. 27); and supposes that this notion may already have existed at Colossae in some incipient form. But such an abuse of the term seems to imply a well established and familiar Christian use. Philo, who speaks the language of the Jewish philosophic mysticism of the first century, has no such usage. In firm, clear lines the apostle has retraced, in vers. 12-14 (comp. vers. 20-23; Colossians 2:11-14), the teaching of his earlier Epistles on the doctrines of salvation. Here he assumes, in brief and comprehensive terms, what in writing to the Galatians and Romans he had formerly been at so much pains to prove. Parallel Commentaries ...
