Redemption "a designation for Christians who have received salvation through Jesus Christ and are thus brought back into the relationship with God that they are intended to have."
Reconciliation "Bringing together parties who are estrainged. It is a key image of the Salvation accomplished by Jesus Christ in his death and ressurection. Christians are to be reconciled with God and with others."
