Justification - a legal term, opposite of condemnation.
Justify, Declare righteous
Justification vs Pardon
‘To condemn is not merely to punish, but to declare the accused guilty or worthy of punishment; and justification is not merely to remit that punishment, but to declare that punishment cannot be justly inflicted … Pardon and Justification therefore are essentially distinct. The one is the remission of punishment, the other is a declaration that no ground for the infliction of punishment exists.’
- C.H. Hodge

Redemption - commercial term taken from the marketplace.
Slaves purchased to set free.
45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Seems like all I can see was the struggle Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past Bound up in shackles of all my failures Wondering how long is this gonna last Then You look at this prisoner and say to me "son Stop fighting a fight that's already been won" I am redeemed, You set me free So I'll shake off theses heavy chains And wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be I am redeemed I'm redeemed All my life I have been called unworthy Named by the voice of my shame and regret But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head" I remember oh God, You're not done with me yet I am redeemed, You set me free So I'll shake off theses heavy chains And wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be Because I don't have to be the old man inside of me 'Cause his day is long dead and gone Because I've got a new name, a new life I'm not the same And a hope that will carry me home
