Exodus 15:13

In your loving kindness, you have led the people whom you have redeemed in your strength you have guided them to your holy habitation

Philippians 1:6

Being persuaded of this very thing, that He Who has begun in you, a good work will perfect it until the day of Yeshua , the Messiah.

The dictionary defines redemption as the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil, and the action of big, gaining in exchange for payment, or clearing the death debt.

Redemption involves deliverance from bondage, based on the payment of a price for a redeemer. Fundamental to the message of the New Testament is the announcement that Yeshua of Nazareth IS the fulfillment of Israel’s messianic hope and that, in Him, the long awaited redemption has arrived. Deliverance of humankind from its state of alienation from Hashem has been accomplished through the death and resurrection of Yeshua.

Living in a fallen world, as believers means, we will experience trials and tribulations, and will continue to struggle with our own Temptations. We are forgiven, but Hashem is not finished with us yet.

Consequently, longing for a better world even, a perfect world, is not a form of escapism, rather, it is the believers rightful anticipation of a promise made by the One Who justly pronounced a curse on this world, and then lovingly took the curse upon Himself in order to redeem people for His glory.
