Being one of the redeemed means being chosen by God and saved from sin and death through Christ's sacrifice.
To be one of the redeemed signifies that an individual has been elected by God and purchased at a great cost—namely, the blood of Jesus Christ. According to Scripture, as seen in Psalm 107, the redeemed are those whom God has saved from the hand of the enemy and who, upon recognizing their lost state, cry out to Him for mercy. This process highlights God's grace in choosing specific individuals who will ultimately respond to His call, thus emphasizing not only the greatness of God’s mercy but also His sovereignty in salvation. The redeemed express their gratitude through praise and thanksgiving, reflecting their understanding of what it means to be delivered from darkness into His marvelous light.
