| REDEMPTION See also: Atonement; Salvation | 救贖 |
| By Christ's purchasing redemption, two things are
intended: his satisfaction and his merit; the one pays our debts, and so satisfies; the
other procedues our titles, and so merits. The satisfaction of Christ is to free us
from misery; the merit of Christ is to purchase happiness for us. Jonathan Edwards 藉著基督成就的救贖，意味著兩件事情：祂的滿足及祂的功勞；祂代償我們的罪債，因此得到滿足；另一則是讓我們有個新名，這就是功勞。基督的滿足是將我們從悲慘中釋放出來；基督的功勞就是為我們贖回喜樂的生命。 |
| As a race we are not even
stray sheep, or wandering prodigals merely, we are rebels with weapons in our hands.
Our supreme need from God, therefore, is not the education of our conscience...but
our redemption. P. T. Forsyth 做為人類我們可不比迷失的羊，或迷途的浪子，我們是武器在手的叛徒。因此我們對上帝最大的需要不是教化我們的心智...而是我們的救贖。 |
| No creature that deserved redemption would need to
be redeemed. C. S. Lewis 沒有一個配得救贖的受造之物需要救贖。 |
| The believer is not redeemed
by obedience to the law but he is redeemed unto it. John Murray 相信的人並非因著順服律法而蒙救贖，而是因蒙救贖而能順服律法。 |
| Justification and sanctification are two aspects or
the two sides of the one coin of divine redemption. W. Stanford Reid 稱義與成聖是上帝救贖的一體兩面。 |
| The only thing that a man
can contribute to his own redemption is the sin from which he needs to be redeemed. William Temple 人們對救贖唯一的貢獻就是他自己的罪，因這罪使他需要蒙救贖。 |
