How do we know we are redeemed by Christ?

Redemption is a core tenet of the Christian faith, emphasized throughout the New Testament. Specifically, 1 Corinthians 6:20 articulates, 'For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.' This indicates that through Jesus' sacrificial death, believers are liberated from the bondage of sin. The concept is strengthened by the Lord’s betrothal to His people in Hosea 2:19, affirming God's unbreakable covenant relationship. Those who are His are seen as sheep who know their Shepherd, as expressed in John 10:27-28, wherein Jesus states, 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.' This intimate relationship reassures us of our redemption.
