Bought out of Slavery.

To 'redeem' is to buy back something that was previously your property, and which has passed into the ownership of another person. Another similar meaning of the original Hebrew is to 'set free'. There was a law in Israel which required a man to buy back or redeem land which had formerly belonged to one of his family who perhaps through hard times and poverty had sold his lands to another, and had become a bondsman or slave to another man. The Book of Ruth in the Old Testament is written about just such a situation.

The prophets and apostles use this Old Testament law of redemption to illustrate what God does for us. We are morally and spiritually poverty stricken and have sold our inheritance, and become slaves to sin (see Romans 6:15-18), but God has redeemed us by the death of His Son (see 1 Corinthians 1:30), and will restore us to our inheritance, and give us a place in His Kingdom when Christ returns.
