Redeem, Redemption speaks of - a transaction - a payment made.

Christs resurrection is God the Fathers receipt for the transaction.

1st find the verses Vines cites (based in their context of Redeem-Redemption) in its definition

[ A-1,Verb,G1805, exagorazo ]
Gal 3:13 Christ purchased our freedom and redeemed us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)

Gal 4:5 so that He might redeem and liberate those who were under the Law, that we [who believe] might be adopted as sons [as God’s children with all rights as fully grown members of a family].

Titus 2:
13 awaiting and confidently expecting the [fulfillment of our] blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

14 who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good.

1 Peter 1:18 For you know that you were not redeemed from your useless [spiritually unproductive] way of life inherited [by tradition] from your forefathers with perishable things like silver and gold,

[ B-1,Noun,G3085, lutrosis ]
Heb 9:12 He went once for all into the Holy Place [the Holy of Holies of heaven, into the presence of God], and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, having obtained and secured eternal redemption [that is, the salvation of all who personally believe in Him as Savior].

[ B-2,Noun,G629, apolutrosis ]
Rom 3:24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] [c]grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,

Col 1:14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty].

Rom 6:4 We have therefore been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory and power of the Father, we too might walk habitually in newness of life [abandoning our old ways]

Heb 9:15 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal [Holy] Spirit willingly offered Himself unblemished [that is, without moral or spiritual imperfection as a sacrifice] to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the ever living God?

Rom 8:23 And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons—the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection].

1 Cor 1:30 But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation], and righteousness [making us acceptable to God], and sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin],

Eph 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you were sealed and marked [branded as God’s own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin].

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: Redeem, Redemption
[ A-1,Verb,G1805, exagorazo ]
a strengthened form of agorazo, to buy" (See BUY, No. 1), denotes "to buy out" (ex for ek), especially of purchasing a slave with a view to his freedom. It is used metaphorically
(a) in Galatians 3:13; Galatians 4:5, of the deliverance by Christ of Christian Jews from the Law and its curse; what is said of lutron (RANSOM, No. 1) is true of this verb and of agorazo, as to the Death of Christ, that Scripture does not say to whom the price was paid; the various suggestions made are purely speculative;

Vine's Note: In Romans 3:24, "through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;" Ephesians 1:7, defined as "the forgiveness of our trespasses," RV; so Colossians 1:14, "the forgiveness of our sins," indicating both the liberation from the guilt and doom of sin and the introduction into a life of liberty, "newness of life" (Romans 6:4); Hebrews 9:15,; Revelation 14:3-Revelation 14:4, AV, agorazo, "to purchase" (RV) is translated "redeemed." See PURCHASE.

[ A-2,Verb,G3084, lutroo ]
"to release on receipt of ransom" (akin to lutron, "a ransom"), is used in the Middle Voice, signifying "to release by paying a ransom price, to redeem"

(b) in a spiritual sense, Titus 2:14, of the work of Christ in "redeeming" men "from all iniquity" (anomia, "lawlessness," the bondage of self-will which rejects the will of God); 1 Peter 1:18 (Passive Voice), "ye were redeemed," from a vain manner of life, i.e., from bondage to tradition. In both instances the Death of Christ is stated as the means of "redemption."

Vin'es Note: lutroo signifies the actual "deliverance," the setting at liberty.

[ B-1,Noun,G3085, lutrosis ]
"a redemption" (akin to A, No. 2), is used

(b) of "the redemptive work" of Christ, Hebrews 9:12, bringing deliverance through His death, from the guilt and power of sin.

[ B-2,Noun,G629, apolutrosis ]

(c) forgiveness and justification, "redemption" as the result of expiation, deliverance from the guilt of sins, Romans 3:24, "through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;" Ephesians 1:7, defined as "the forgiveness of our trespasses," RV; so Colossians 1:14, "the forgiveness of our sins," indicating both the liberation from the guilt and doom of sin and the introduction into a life of liberty, "newness of life" (Romans 6:4); Hebrews 9:15, "for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant," RV, here "redemption of" is equivalent to "redemption from," the genitive case being used of the object from which the "redemption" is effected, not from the consequence of the transgressions, but from the transgressions themselves;

(d) the deliverance of the believer from the presence and power of sin, and of his body from bondage to corruption, at the coming (the Parousia in its inception) of the Lord Jesus, Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 1:14; Ephesians 4:30. See also PROPITIATION.

My final thought:
Anyone that places their faith in Christ's sin atoning (perpetually cleansing God blood) sacrifice. Has been (done deal) eternally redeemed, liberated, forgiven from every sin, Past-Present-Future & all guilt & punishment associated with sinning.

Every believer has been <(past tense) > justified/declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God & granted eternal life!

Christ's Holy Spirit is the believers "guarantee, a foretaste of an eternal inheritance. God’s own purchased/with His perpetually cleansing God blood possession. Sealing the believer until the redemption. To the praise of His glory.

By Christ' Holy Spirit you've been sealed, marked & branded as God’s own. Redeemed & forever (Jn 141) delivered from the consequences of sin! AMEN & Amen
