Have you gone astray? Check out these redemption quotes to get you reoriented and back on a level path.
Redemption is a key part of life, religion, and spirituality. It’s also a common theme in books, movies, and art.

However you look at redemption, and however much you need, we hope these redemption quotes help you to seek it and provide faith that you deserve to be redeemed.

Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, ‘Love your enemies.’ It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. That’s why Jesus says, ‘Love your enemies.’ Because if you hate your enemies, you have no way to redeem and to transform your enemies. But if you love your enemies, you will discover that at the very root of love is the power of redemption.

Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.
