Ransom Rescate

Ransom

Definition: A price paid to buy back or to bring about release from some obligation or undesirable circumstance. The most significant ransom price is that of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. By paying over the value of that ransom in heaven, Jesus opened the way for Adam’s offspring to be delivered from the sin and death that we all inherit because of the sin of our forefather Adam.

Rescate

Definición: Un precio que se paga para recobrar por compra a alguien, o librarlo de alguna obligación o circunstancia indeseable. El precio de rescate más significativo es el de la sangre derramada de Jesucristo. Al pagar en el cielo el valor de ese rescate, Jesús abrió el camino para que la prole de Adán fuera librada del pecado y la muerte que todos heredamos debido al pecado de nuestro antepasado Adán.
