Christ redeems His people by bearing their sins and fulfilling the law on their behalf.
The redemption of Christ is central to the Reformed understanding of salvation. As outlined in Galatians 3:13, 'Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.' This act of bearing sin on the cross illustrates His role as the ultimate Passover lamb, as seen in Exodus. Through His perfect obedience, He fulfilled the requirements of the law, thus enabling His people to be seen as righteous before God. This redemptive work illustrates how Christ not only sets His people free from guilt and condemnation but also provides them with the necessary grace to live in obedience, showcasing His love and sovereignty over salvation.
