What does redemption mean in the Bible?

Redemption is one of the biblical terms and/or aspects to understand the salvation provided for us thru Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

We are adopted as children of God thru believing the gospel, thru the redemption provided by the cross of Jesus.

Ephesians1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

The redemption provided by Christ gives us freely the forgiveness of all sin.

Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Our redemption is in the living Christ Jesus; our redemption, our forgiveness of all sin, is in His blood , as stated once again for us.

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Our redemption is secure and assured until the day of our redemption.

We can have full assurance that our salvation does not rest in anything we can contribute; our salvation is sure and safe in Christ Jesus and what He has accomplished.

This is the gospel by which we are saved.

15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

1 Corinthians 15

We are all sinners who can not save ourselves.

Christ died for our sins; He was our substitute, He paid the full penalty and debt for our sin by his blood sacrifice.

He was buried.

He rose again for our justification ( to declare us righteous) and forgiveness of all our sin. He gives us His righteousness and eternal life.

All we have to do is believe the gospel.

Believing is being persuaded that something is true.

The moment you believe you have eternal life.

Trust the gospel of your salvation. Place your faith in Jesus Christ, in his blood, his death and his resurrection.

What does redemption mean in the Bible?
Strong's Concordance
apolutrósis: a release effected by payment of ransom
Original Word: ἀπολύτρωσις, εως, ἡ

Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: apolutrósis
Phonetic Spelling: (ap-ol-oo'-tro-sis)
Short Definition: redemption, deliverance
Definition: release effected by payment of ransom; redemption, deliverance.

The price of our redemption was the shed blood of Christ, which has infinite value. All sinners were *slaves* in the slave-market of sin. And all the saints (the Church of God) have been purchased with the blood of the Lamb of God.

King James Bible
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God [Theos], which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28)

As I asked a naysayer recently, who is this "God" who shed His own blood for our redemption? It could only be the God-Man Christ Jesus. But he dodged this completely.
