Holiness means being set apart for God, living in a way that reflects His character. 1 Peter 1:15-16 says, ‘But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do: for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’

Redemption always involves a ransom or a sacrifice to buy us back from Satan, our slave master; to buy us back from our sin and folly.

When something deviates from its original plan and design, and is recovered and restored, we call it redemption.

You and I have been held captive to sin, but Christ has purchased our pardon and set us at liberty. When a person has this life-changing experience, he will want to sing, “Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed!”
