A Prophecy of Christ's Victory
The majority of commentators view this verse as a powerful prophecy of Jesus Christ's victory over death. They explain that the terms 'ransom' and 'redeem' point directly to the price Jesus paid for salvation. The Apostle Paul's quotation of this verse in 1 Corinthians 15 is seen as the ultimate confirmation that its promise is fulfilled in Christ's resurrection and the future hope it gives to all believers.
