It is a multifaceted term that appears in various contexts, including the release from physical captivity, spiritual bondage, and the forgiveness of debts or sins.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the idea of release is prominently featured in the laws concerning the Year of Jubilee and the Sabbatical Year. Every seventh year, known as the Sabbatical Year, was a time when the Israelites were commanded to release debts and allow the land to rest. <a href="/deuteronomy/15.htm">Deuteronomy 15:1-2</a> states, "At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the Lord’s time for canceling debts has been proclaimed."<br><br>The Year of Jubilee, occurring every fiftieth year, was a more comprehensive release, where slaves were freed, and land was returned to its original owners (<a href="/leviticus/25-10.htm">Leviticus 25:10</a>). This year was a profound symbol of liberation and restoration, reflecting God's desire for justice and mercy among His people.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the theme of release is closely associated with the ministry of Jesus Christ. Jesus proclaimed His mission in terms of release and freedom, as seen in <a href="/luke/4-18.htm">Luke 4:18-19</a> , where He reads from the scroll of Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor."<br><br>The release from sin is a central tenet of the New Testament, with Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection providing the ultimate release from the bondage of sin and death. <a href="/romans/6-22.htm">Romans 6:22</a> emphasizes this spiritual release: "But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life."<br><br><b>Forgiveness and Release</b><br><br>The concept of release is also integral to the biblical understanding of forgiveness. In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches His disciples to pray for the release of debts, which is synonymous with forgiveness of sins (<a href="/matthew/6-12.htm">Matthew 6:12</a>): "And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." This reflects the call for believers to release others from the debts of sin against them, just as God has released them from their own sins.<br><br><b>Apostolic Teachings</b><br><br>The apostles continued to teach about the release from the law and sin through faith in Christ. Paul, in <a href="/galatians/5.htm">Galatians 5:1</a> , exhorts believers to stand firm in their freedom: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical theme of release encompasses physical, spiritual, and moral dimensions, reflecting God's redemptive plan for humanity. Through the laws of the Old Testament and the redemptive work of Christ in the New Testament, the concept of release underscores the transformative power of God's grace and mercy.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Release.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/912.htm"><span class="l">912.
