The beauty of the word redeem is not only in its depth but in the love that is behind it. There must be value present to be redeemed.
The most remarkable element of God's redemption is that He decided to act when we gave Him no thought.
He decided to save us from darkness even when we opposed Him. He viewed us not only as we were but as we were created to be and chose to pay the ultimate price.

Love story
God's redemption is a love story at great cost. There is no redemption without the shedding of blood. In the supernatural blood is a currency and there is none higher than the blood of Christ. There is nothing that the blood of Christ can not redeem you from. He covers all. All debts, all demonic covenants, all sins, and every deception. When you are covered in the blood of Christ you are fully redeemed and demons have lost all legal right.
