If you want to know the true meaning i encourage you to take some time to visit a salvage yard. (Junkyard).
For the true meaning of redemption...visit a redemption ctr.

No joke....let the lord lead to your understanding. You would be amazed at what scriptures come to mind.

Reading the Old Testament and understanding the name of Jesus from its origen, you will find it is likened mainly to Redemption.

The Father tells us on numerous occations, "I am your Redeemer." This does not in any manner detract from Jesus, for He, the Holy Spirit and the Father are One.

Yeshi is My Redeemer. To know this does not make anyone a linguist,. However learning certain words and their complete etymologies is a tremendous blessing to the learner.

Redeemer is also goel....as in the book of ruth. Jesus is the goel of his people. Being created in Gods image GOD becomes the closest relative you have.
Redeemer = restorer that is through out the whole bible. That is why the church does not replacee Israel. That is why there is a thousand yr. reign at the end. This is one of the foundational truths of the bible.
Jesus said "behold i make all things new" not to replace but restore😉😊

Redemption = salvation = deliverance. But there is a great deal more to salvation as presented in the Bible.
Oh i wouldnt be so sure of that. Not all things that are salvaged can be redeemed.

Israel was saved from God's wrath that sent them into enslavement by Egypt. We, that have faith in the Lord Jesus, are saved from God's wrath and our enslavement to sin, and the law of religious rituals and observances.

Both groups were driven out into the 'desert' to test the strength of their loyalty to God, with the Promised Land being the reward at the end if they remained faithful to Him.

It is most times overlooked that God changed Jacob's name to be called Israel (Gen 33:28). Many times, forward in the scriptures, when the word "Israel" is used, it has reference to Jacob who represents the elect of God, Rom 9:11, which is the bride (the kingdom of God, the church, House of Jacob ) Psalms 114:1, Ezk 20:5, Luke 1:31-33. For they are not all Isreal, which are of Isreal Rom 9:6.

Re. Bible Dictionary:

Salvation is defined as being delivered, by God's grace, from sin and its consequence of eternal punishment and being raised to newness of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:4). Salvation comes to those who repent and, by faith, receive Jesus alone as personal Savior and Lord (John 1:12).

You have to read verse 13 of John 1 to understand in verse 12, who the "as many as received him" are, which were those who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, but of God. The un-regenerant will never repent of breaking a spiritual law that he cannot understand and thinks it to be foolishness. 1 Cor 2:14.

Salvation means more than just deliverance ------the 2 Greek words for Salvation

Sozo

Strong's #4982: sozo (pronounced sode'-zo)

from a primary sos (contraction for obsolete saos, "safe"); to save, i.e. deliver or protect (literally or figuratively):--heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.

1) to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction

1a) one (from injury or peril)

1a1) to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health
1b1) to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue

https://www.preceptaustin.org/salvation-soteria_greek_word_study

Salvation (4991) (soteria from soter = Savior in turn from sozo = save, rescue, deliver) (Click here or here for in depth discussion of the related terms soter and sozo) describes the rescue or deliverance from danger, destruction and peril.

Salvation is a broader term in Greek than we often think of in English. Other concepts that are inherent in soteria include restoration to a state of safety, soundness, health and well being as well as preservation from danger of destruction.

Salvation includes all of the things shown below (and there is Scripture for everything):
1. Justification by God's grace and the gift of imputed righteousness.
2. The forgiveness of past sins.
3. The gift of the Holy Spirit.
4. The gift of eternal life.
5. The gift of Christ within.
6. Regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit.
7. A new creation in Christ and newness of life (a new heart, an new mind, and a new spirit).
8. The cleansing of the soul from all guilt and sin.
9. The empowerment of the believer over the sin nature through the Holy Spirit.
10. A hunger for righteousness and truth. This is a part of sanctification.
11. A hunger for the Word of God.
12. A desire to commune with God in prayer.
13. Separation from all that is evil and sinful and opposed to God and Christ.
14. A desire to engage in good works and demonstrate the love of God to others.
15. A desire to share the Gospel with the lost, and bring them to Christ.
16. A desire to honor and obey God and Christ in all things, beginning with baptism.
17. A desire to exercise the spiritual gifts given by the Spirit.
18. A sincere love for the brethren.

So all of this includes (a) deliverance from Hell, (b) deliverance from the devil, (c) deliverance from the world, and (d) deliverance from self (the sin nature). But it also means being removed from the kingdom of darkness and being placed within the Kingdom of Light. Therefore those who are saved are (1) children of God, (2) heirs of God, (3) joint-heirs with Christ, and (4) within a Royal Priesthood. Their citizenship is in Heaven. They will therefore live and reign with Christ. Those who have been faithful in small things on earth, will be given large responsibilities in eternity. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.

At the same time God expects His children to live and act as children of God while on earth. We must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ to be judged for our works and our words. Those whose works and words have eternal value (gold, silver, precious stones) will receive corresponding rewards and crowns. And those whose works and words have no eternal value (wood, hay, stubble) will suffer the loss of rewards and crowns, but not the loss of salvation (which is a free gift of God's grace).

Salvation does not exempt Christians from trials, tribulations, temptations, and testings. In fact Satanic and demonic attacks begin immediately and do not abate. Instead they intensify.
Therefore God gives His children "the whole armour of God" and the Holy Spirit within. All the apostles were martyred, and today thousands of Christians are being persecuted worldwide for their faith in Christ. But in eternity they will be greatly rewarded and honored.

What do you mean by "salvaged"? A person is either redeemed or not. There is no middle ground.
OH my friend there is so much in scripture about this cant believe you cant see It.

Neither I , nor any other Christian, talks about "salvage" in this connection. IN FACT YOU WILL NOT FIND THAT WORD IN THE KJB!
