from whom are we redeemed from? From Vanity. Emptiness. Futility. unprofitableness. Which sums up the who. Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Sold ...sold ourselves into bondage and the lie and God purchased (redeemed)us out of bondage.
Out from the bondage of sin. And whoever sins is a slave of sin....and the devil.
If I want to purchase...say, a classic car, in order to free it from a "bad owner" so to speak...I pay the price to redeem it from the old owner. Then the old owner has no more authority and the car is now in my hands. But before that transaction it was under the authority of the old owner.
So likewise we were in the bondage of darkness under the rulership of the power of the air controlled by the rebellion which is set up as a dominion over the whole world...to put the whole world in darkness and subservience through sin.
But in Christ we have been set free...and soon the kingdoms of the world will be fully brought into the rulership of the Lord.
