Redemption is not God overlooking sin; it is God paying the price to reclaim what was lost. The Hebrew word padah reminds us that we were not excused, we were ransomed. God did not minimize the cost; He absorbed it Himself. To be redeemed is to belong fully to the One who paid in full. “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Ephesians 1:7).
