Redeemed: The Word Tree (Loosed by the Blood – Part 3)
The Greek word translated “redeemed” in 1 Peter 1:18 is lutroo.[1]. It means “to ransom.” We were ransomed. We know what it means to be ransomed. If someone gets kidnapped, then you have to pay a ransom to get him or her back. What is the usual threat if the ransom demand isn’t met? Murder!
