What does the Bible say about redemption for the banished?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God has provided means for the banished to be restored to Him through His decree and the work of Christ.
In Scripture, the theme of redemption is central to understanding God's relationship with His people. The narrative in 2 Samuel 14 serves as a poignant illustration of this, showcasing how King David longs to restore his banished son, Absalom. Just as David sought to bring Absalom back, God has not left humanity without hope. He has devised means for His banished, as the woman of Tekoa articulates, ensuring that restoration is possible. Ultimately, this restoration points to the greater reality of redemption found in Jesus Christ, who has come to restore us to fellowship with the Father through His sacrifice.
