The Price of Freedom
Commentators explain that the word 'ransom' (Greek: antilutron) refers to a price paid to free a slave. Christ gave His own life as a substitutionary payment—His life in exchange for ours—to free humanity from the slavery of sin. This act of 'vicarious satisfaction,' as one scholar terms it, is the foundation of our peace with God and is essential for approaching Him.
