“Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.”
Isaiah 51:11 KJV
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed his people. My Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name. So into his hand I commit my spirit: for He hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth!
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a *propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 3:24-26 KJV
*propitiation – the atonement or atoning sacrifice offered to God for our sins.

… God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the *atonement.
Romans 5:8-11 KJV
*atonement – the reconciliation of God and humankind through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ

… of him(God the Father) are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:30-31 KJV
… Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews 9:11-12 KJV
