[Isa 44:22 ESV] 22 I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.

[Isa 62:12 ESV] 12 And they shall be called The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

[Lam 3:58 ESV] 58 "You have taken up my cause, O Lord; you have redeemed my life.

[Zec 10:8 ESV] 8 "I will whistle for them and gather them in, for I have redeemed them, and they shall be as many as they were before.

God is serious about the act of redemption.  When He redeems you, your life is changed forever.  I am forever grateful for His redemption of me.  I hate to think how I would be living without Him influencing me.
