Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of λύτρωσις in the Greek New Testament corresponds to several Hebrew terms related to redemption, including:
• Strong's Hebrew 1350 (גָּאַל, ga'al): To redeem, act as a kinsman-redeemer.
• Strong's Hebrew 6306 (פָּדוּת, paduth): Ransom, redemption.
• Strong's Hebrew 6299 (פָּדָה, padah): To ransom, redeem, rescue.

These Hebrew terms collectively convey the idea of redemption and deliverance, forming the theological foundation upon which the New Testament understanding of λύτρωσις is built.

Usage: The term λύτρωσις is used in the New Testament to describe the concept of redemption, particularly in the context of spiritual deliverance and salvation through Jesus Christ.

Context: • λύτρωσις is a significant theological term in the New Testament, encapsulating the idea of redemption and deliverance. It is used to describe the act of freeing someone from bondage or captivity, often through the payment of a ransom. In the Christian context, it refers to the deliverance from sin and its consequences, achieved through the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
• The concept of λύτρωσις is rooted in the Old Testament practices of redeeming a person or property, often involving a kinsman-redeemer who would pay the necessary price to secure freedom or restoration (Leviticus 25:25-55).
• In the New Testament, λύτρωσις is used to emphasize the spiritual liberation that believers receive through Christ. For instance, in Luke 1:68, Zechariah praises God for having "visited and redeemed His people." Similarly, in Hebrews 9:12, it is stated that Christ "entered the Most Holy Place once for all, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption."
• The term underscores the costliness of redemption, highlighting the sacrificial nature of Christ's atonement. It conveys the profound truth that believers are bought with a price, leading to their freedom from the bondage of sin and the hope of eternal life.
