( Our records in heavens are paid in full). To deliver from the bondage of sin, and the penalties of God's violated laws or the consequences of sin though the reconciliation with God affected by the atonement of Christ.

another definition.

Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
We should recognize we don't need to ask God to be good to us or show us favor He has shown it and continues to do so now and forever.
