Popularized today in Christiandenominations, many think salvation is theevent of just getting to heaven.
However, salvation is not just for us, it is
for God as well.
Revelation 7:10 and they cry out with aloud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God
who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.
So, salvation is not just for us. God wantsa people for his possession.

By the preceding verse, we know that Jesus
expected 2 things from his sacrifice.He expected to redeem us. Redeemcomes from the Greek word
lutroo

From G3083; to ransom (literally orfiguratively): - redeem.
It is slave language typically used ofbuying someone that cant afford to paytheir debts out of bondage. You thenbecame the slave of another. So Jesusexpected to purchase us by paying our sindebt and then make us a slave ofrighteousness.

James 2:14-24 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he hasfaith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? (15) If a brother
or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, (16) and oneof you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet
you do not give them what is necessary for theirbody, what use isthat? (17) Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.(18) But someone maywellsay, "You have faith and I have works;show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith
by my works." (19) You believe that God is one. You do well; thedemons also believe, and shudder. (20) But are you willing torecognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?(21) Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offeredup Isaac his son on the altar? (22) You see that faith was working
with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;(23) and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM
BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM ASRIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God. (24) Yousee that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
