Redemption in the Catholic Religion
Within the rite of the Catholic religion the term Redemption has a specific meaning. This defines the gesture he had Jesus Christ , considered by the Church the Son of God, in offering his life for the salvation of mankind. This gesture consisted of allowing him to be killed by nailing him on the cross after having subjected him to a series of painful tortures. It is believed that through his death, Jesus Christ offered humanity the possibility of reaching the Kingdom of heavens ; that is, eternal life.
It is believed that through his suffering Jesus Christ allowed human beings to go from the slavery of sin to the freedom granted by becoming children of God. It is also believed that when Christ came into the world there was a widespread pagan consciousness in him; Moral corruption was one of the constants in society and that was why it was necessary to make a change that made rehabilitation possible.
Although in the Jewish religion it is believed that redemption can be achieved through a holy life following the design of the prophets; the Christian religion affirms that the true redeemer is Christ Jesus who, as the Christian theory says "He was crucified for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate and was buried".
There is another concept linked to redemption in the Christian religion that is the satisfaction of Christ. Refers to total forgiveness of debt that humans we have with God, (assumed on the day of birth with original sin) through the death and resurrection of Christ, which implies a repair of the spiritual identity of each person so that he is able to achieve eternal peace. This concept is mentioned in a popular passage from the book of Isaiah where the servant of Yahweh is described, who comes to be Jesus Christ, also known as the Messiah, who is punished by his father because of the sins of all mankind, and who executes said sacrifice with patience and love.
In the Christian rite it is often said that Christ bore the iniquities of humanity on his shoulders (hence the clear symbol of the cross) and that through his oblation he offered peace to the entire world, thus paying with his life all The mistakes of humanity.
