Redeemed of the Lord

God Calls You Redeemed of the Lord

Metaphor: Redeemed of the Lord
Concept: ‘Redemption refers to the recovery of persons or things. (2) A redemption price was necessary for this recovery or restoration. (3) A human intermediary, the ‎gœ°¢l‎, acted to secure the redemption. Summarily speaking, redemption involved the securing of release or recovery by the payment of a price.’

Ps 107:2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary,    

Isa 62:12 And they shall call them the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you shall be called Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken. AMP

 ‘REDEEMER: the salvation of the Lord, when conceived of as redemption, is release from bondage by ransom and reflects not merely upon the result but also upon the mode by which the deliverance is wrought.As observed above, the intermediary who secures the redemption is called the ‎gœ°¢l‎. This title is frequently ascribed to the Lord in the OT.

The merciful provisions associated with the term in the ordinary life of Israel are here carried to the highest level in the relation of God to His people, and the kinsman's action in recovering possession is likened to God's action in salvation. The Isaianic contexts are replete with references to God's tender care for His heritage, to the almighty power by which He has wrought salvation, and to the security against all adversaries guaranteed by the redemptive relation. Messianic prophecy takes the form of the promise that a Redeemer will come to Zion (Isa 59:20; cf. Rom 11:26); thus the coming salvation mentioned repeatedly in redemptive terms, is conjoined with the coming of One whose specific role is that of Redeemer.’

Father thank you that beginning in the garden where you shed the blood of animals that Adam and Eve might be clothed, you have promised to redeem us from sin and have paid the for cost and result of our sin through shed blood, the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. Thank you that we may now have the fruit of that redemption!
