Again, claiming redemption occurred when Christ died, but redemption and reconciliation occur when God alone puts us into Christ. Galatians 3:13 does not say when Christ was made a curse, everyone was redeemed. That is unmitigated nonsense, for we have the ministry of reconciliation to this day....

No "scriptural" argument has been made. -
In Christ = Saved, Redeemed, Forgiven, Made Alive, Regenerated,
Not in Christ = Unsaved, not redeemed, not forgiven, not spiritually alive, unregenerate.
The gospel is straightforward once a person accepts it is God alone who saves.
But what did Christ accomplish on the cross? He became our propitiation or means of salvation. Those whose faith God credits as righteousness are placed into Christ where we are saved, redeemed, forgiven, made alive, regenerated, and so forth. -

Are we chosen for salvation through faith? Yes, 2 Thessalonians 2:13.
Do those chosen benefit from that individual election? Yes,
Romans 4:23-24 (NASB)
Now not for his [Abraham's]sake only was it written that it [righteous faith] was credited to him,
but for our sake also, to whom it [righteous faith] will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Thus indeed, our faith when credited as righteousness by God, is the reason given for our election to salvation. -
Redemption is the buying back of something. You might try for redemption by attempting to buy back a bike you sold, or you might attempt to buy back your soul after you steal someone else's bike.

This must mean, that he has delivered them from the consequences of their sins and transgressions in the world against His Holy Law ; he has saved them from the punishment which their sins have deserved. -

Redemption further denotes:
everywhere in the N. T. metaphorically, viz. deliverance effected through the death of Christ from the retributive wrath of a holy God and the merited penalty of sin:
deliverance from the penalty of transgressions, effected through their expiation,
This redemption through the death of Christ for all whom He died, His Sheep or His Church have by His death alone been redeemed from the wrath of God, the penalty of their sins is gone which is death.
Folks anyone going to hell for their sins, even the second death, under the wrath of God, Christ could not have died for them. That would contradict redemption through His Blood !6 -

Galatians 3:6
Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
I did cite Romans 4 which includes Romans 4:3. And post #46 makes the case we benefit when God credits our faith as righteousness, referring to our election for salvation.
Romans 4:23-24 (NASB)
Now not for his [Abraham's]sake only was it written that it [righteous faith] was credited to him,
but for our sake also, to whom it [righteous faith] will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
And note folks the false charge that I violate "context." Calvinists charge their opponents with whatever malfeasance they are engaged in. I kid you not. -
