Redemption (theology)

[1] Christians believe that all people are born into a state of sin and separation from God, and that redemption is a necessary part of salvation in order to obtain eternal life.

[4] In Christian theology, redemption is a metaphor for what is achieved through the atonement;[5] therefore, there is a metaphorical sense in which the death of Jesus pays the price of a ransom (the Latin word redemptio literally expresses the idea of "buying back" - compare Latin emptus - "having been bought or purchased"), releasing Christians from bondage to sin and death.

[6] Most evangelical Protestant theologians and denominations reject Origen's argument that God paid the ransom price of redemption to Satan.

"[7] The term salvation refers to the overall process of being saved,[5] which includes redemption especially but also encompasses other aspects of the Christian faith such as sanctification and glorification.

'"introspection"'), is a ritual during which Jains repent (prayaschit) for their sins and non-meritorious activities committed knowingly or inadvertently during their daily life through thought, speech or action.

As such, the original intent of Zionism was the redemption process by which the Land of Israel that has been pledged to the Israelites[36] is reclaimed, accomplished through a payment of the debt owed to God[35] as a fulfillment of the conditions set out in the Torah.
