Bible Verses on Redemption

Reading through Bible verses on the topic of redemption helps us understand the true sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. Redemption provides us with freedom from all kinds of ills, and God offers it to us freely. He paid a huge price for our redemption, and the following Scripture gives us some insight into how meaningful that price is.
