The theme of deliverance develops further in the New Testament with two more terms. The first is Lutron, which means “to redeem,” “to liberate,” or “to ransom.” The Gospels use this word to express the heart of Christ’s mission as Redeemer: Jesus came “to give his life as a ransom for many”

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.”( Matthew 20:28 )

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.” ( Mark 10:45 )

His death on the cross paid the ransom price to set sinners free from bondage to sin.

5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and
the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
( Revelation 1:5 )

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.( Romans 3: 23–24 )

8 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
( Romans 6:18 )

15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may
receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them
free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
( Hebrews 9:15 )

14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a
people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
( Titus 2:14 )

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of
passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one
another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not
because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through
the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
( Titus 3: 3–5 )

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to
God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
( 1 Peter 3:18 ).

Just as the Old Testament animal sacrifices paid for Israel’s sins, Christ “bore our sins in his body on the tree” and satisfied the debt we owed

24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live
for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”(1 Peter 2:24).

Another New Testament word, agorazein (and its cognates), isused to express the costly nature of God’s redemptive work inChrist.

you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
( 1 Corinthians 6:20 ) 

What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave,
although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the
time set by his father. 3So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the
elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world. 4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent
his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we
might receive adoption to sonship. ( Galatians 4:5 ). 

Redemption cost Jesus, our Redeemer, everything: “Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was
hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written:
“Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” ( Galatians 3:13 )

2 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed
person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave. 23 You were bought at
a price; do not become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, each person, as
responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
( 1 Corinthians 7:22–24 ).

Christ paid the ransom to secure our freedom from sin and death with His own precious blood.

28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you
overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[a] which he bought with his own blood.
( Acts 20:28 )

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with
the riches of God’s grace
( Ephesians 1:7 )

He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining[a] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! ( Hebrews 9:12–14 ) 

The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. ( Hebrews 13: 11–12 ) 

and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, ( Revelation 1:5 ) 

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign[a] on the earth.”
( Revelation 5: 9–10 ). 

The apostle Peter testified, “18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. ( 1 Peter 1: 18–19 ).

  In the New Testament, the concept of deliverance finds its ultimate fulfilment in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus is depicted as the “Lamb of God,” whose sacrificial offering atones for the sins of humanity, providing redemption and reconciliation with God.
