What does the Bible say about the redemption of God's elect?

In Exodus 21:7-11, we see a picture of redemption that reflects the greater reality of how Christ redeems His people. Just as a father could sell his daughter into servitude due to his mismanagement, humanity is in debt because of Adam's sin. This scripture highlights that redemption comes only through Christ, who paid the full price for our sins. When Christ died on the cross, He became responsible for the debt of His bride, ensuring that we are not merely servants but are betrothed to Him as His beloved, a theme that is further elaborated in Ephesians 5:25-27 where Christ's love for the church is depicted as sacrificial, purifying, and protective.
