Those Christ died for, He redeemed them, and purchased their release from the dominion of the law and satan and secured upon them the Spirit of Adoption Gal 4:4-6
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5
To redeem them that were under the law
, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons,
God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Christ was sent into the world to be birthed of a woman, in order to keep the law, even unto death, which death redeemed them He died for [sons]
The word redeem
exagorazō:
- to redeem
- by payment of a price to recover from the power of another, to ransom, buy off
- metaph. of Christ freeing the elect from the dominion of the Mosaic Law at the price of his vicarious death
- to buy up, to buy up for one's self, for one's use
See those whom Christ died for are under the dominion and power of satan Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light
, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Col 1:13
Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
The power of darkness here is the same as the power of satan !
Now Christs redemptive work redeems, rescues, frees those He died for from satans dominion which includes unbelief, since satan is instrumental in men being in unbelief by blinding their minds 2 Cor 4:4
4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
and being rescued, delivered
they receive the Adoption of Sons, which is the Spirit.
Christ dying for them evidenced them being sons, and causing them to receive the Sprit into their hearts.
Fulfilling the promise Ezk 36:27
27
And I will put my spirit[of adoption] within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
