What does the Bible say about Christ's ransom?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ gave Himself as a ransom for all, fulfilling God's demand for justice and freeing sinners from the curse of the law.

In 1 Timothy 2:6, Paul explains that Christ gave Himself as a ransom for all, indicating His redemptive work as the mediator between God and humanity. This ransom was necessary due to God's justice, which demands that the penalty for sin be paid, as made clear in scripture: 'The soul that sins shall die' (Ezekiel 18:20). Redemption through Christ involves His sacrificial death, signifying that He bore the guilt of sinners. As Peter states in 1 Peter 1:18-19, believers are redeemed not with perishable things like silver or gold, but by the precious blood of Christ, emphasizing His role as the atoning sacrifice for His people.
