Jesus' sacrifice redeems us by fulfilling the law and satisfying God's justice through His death.
The redemption of believers is grounded in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, which meets every requirement of God's law. As stated in Galatians 3:13, 'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law.' This means that not only did He obey the law perfectly, but He also took upon Himself the penalty for our transgressions when He died on the cross. This dual aspect of His work—obedience and substitution—ensures that those who believe in Him are freed from the curse and condemnation of the law.
The implications of this redemption are profound. Through His sacrifice, Christ not only satisfies God's justice but also grants believers the privilege and power to be called sons of God, as highlighted in John 1:12-13. This transformative reality is central to the Christian faith, providing assurance that our sins are forgiven and our relationship with God is restored.
