14 Bible Verses about God, As Redeemer

Now [get ready], I will send you to Egypt [to lead out in their rescue].' But the Hebrews refused [to acknowledge Moses as their leader], saying, 'Who made you a ruler and judge [over us]?' [Nevertheless], God sent him [to Egypt] to be both a ruler and liberator [of the people] through the direction of [His] angel who appeared [to Moses] from the bush. This man led them out [of Egypt], performing wonders and [miraculous] signs in Egypt, at the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years.

But God subjected the created world to aimless frustration [i.e., after the fall. See Gen. 3:17-18] --- it did not happen by its own choice.

[Note: Here "redemption" refers to receiving a new body in heaven]. May this bring about praise to God's splendor.
