The concept of redemption is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where God repeatedly rescues His people from bondage, most notably in the Exodus from Egypt (<a href="/exodus/6-6.htm">Exodus 6:6</a>). Redemption involves a price being paid, which in the New Testament is fulfilled through Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate Redeemer (<a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7</a>). The historical context of this phrase reflects God's ongoing commitment to save and restore His people, a theme that resonates throughout the Psalms and the prophetic books. The idea of redemption also connects to the Year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25), where debts were forgiven, and slaves were freed, symbolizing spiritual liberation.<p><b>He has ordained His covenant forever;</b><br>This phrase underscores the eternal nature of God's covenant with His people. The covenant refers to the solemn agreement God made with Abraham (<a href="/genesis/17-7.htm">Genesis 17:7</a>), which was reaffirmed with Isaac, Jacob, and later with the nation of Israel at Sinai (<a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5-6</a>). The everlasting nature of this covenant is emphasized throughout Scripture, indicating God's unchanging faithfulness and commitment. In the New Testament, this is seen as fulfilled in the New Covenant through Jesus Christ (<a href="/hebrews/9-15.htm">Hebrews 9:15</a>), who provides a permanent relationship with God. The use of "ordained" suggests a divine decree, highlighting God's sovereign authority in establishing and maintaining His promises.<p><b>holy and awesome is His name.</b><br>This phrase reflects the reverence and awe due to God's character and reputation. In biblical times, a name was more than a label; it represented one's essence and authority. God's holiness signifies His absolute purity and separation from sin, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible (<a href="/isaiah/6-3.htm">Isaiah 6:3</a>). The term "awesome" conveys a sense of fear and wonder, acknowledging God's power and majesty. This reverence is echoed in the Lord's Prayer, where Jesus teaches His disciples to hallow God's name (<a href="/matthew/6-9.htm">Matthew 6:9</a>). The holiness and awesomeness of God's name call believers to worship and live in a manner that honors Him, recognizing His supreme authority and glory.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, God is the one who sends redemption and ordains His covenant.
