Redemption from Two Deaths
Commentators explain that God 'redeems your life from destruction' in two profound ways. First, He preserves our physical lives from premature death and the grave. More importantly, as scholars like Gill and Spurgeon emphasize, this points to the ultimate redemption through Christ from eternal destruction and hell. This benefit secures both our natural and spiritual lives.
