What does the Bible say about Jesus being a ransom?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that Jesus came not to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28).

The concept of Jesus as a ransom is central to the Gospel, emphasizing the purpose of His coming into the world. As Matthew 20:28 highlights, 'Even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.' This signifies that His death was both intentional and sacrificial, aimed at securing freedom for His people from sin and judgment. The term 'ransom' here indicates a price paid for deliverance, underscoring both the commitment of the Son to fulfill His role as Savior and the necessity of His sacrificial death for the atonement of sins.
