We know Jesus is our Redeemer through His sacrificial death and resurrection, which satisfied God's justice.
Jesus is recognized as our great Redeemer because He fulfilled the requirements of God's justice through His sacrificial death. According to Romans 8:34, 'It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again,' underscoring the transformative power of His resurrection. His death was the necessary ransom, as He bore the punitive weight for our sins, thus satisfying divine justice (Romans 4:25). The evidence of His redeeming work is seen in the love and grace He demonstrated, reaching out to the unworthy and transforming their lives, as encapsulated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, where He was made sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
