Jesus Christ is known as our redeemer through the fulfillment of prophecy and his sacrificial death that paid the penalty for our sins.
Our assurance that Jesus Christ is our redeemer comes from scripture and the fulfillment of God's covenant promise. According to 1 Peter 1:18-19, we are not redeemed with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of Christ. This emphasizes that the redemption we have is based on his sacrificial offering, which was ordained before the foundation of the world. In Romans 3:24, we see that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. This act of redemption affirms the righteousness of God while simultaneously satisfying His justice, making Christ our perfect and eternal redeemer. Thus, our confidence lies in the Scripture’s testimony about Him.
