'Redeemed by God' refers to the act of God purchasing His people back from sin and its consequences through Christ’s sacrificial death.
'Redeemed by God' signifies the divine act of God saving His people from the bondage of sin and death through the sacrificial work of Jesus. In Isaiah 41:14, God identifies Himself as both the helper and the Redeemer, explicitly affirming that He has provided a way for His people to be liberated. This redemption is not just a momentary deliverance but an eternal one, as articulated in Hebrews 9:12, highlighting that Christ obtained eternal redemption through His blood. Therefore, when believers speak of being redeemed, they refer to a transformation facilitated by God, bringing them out of their wretched state as 'worms' into a new life as children of God, set among princes, heir of His grace.
