Redemption means forgiveness for our sins which we commit on a daily basis. We continue to sin and dont stop sinning because we are redeemed but rather we are forgiven. For example, Alcoholism doesnt stop because one is saved and its a constant fight. The Lord has forgiven Carson but doesn’t mean his pathological tendencies have been removed.

Foregiveness and redemption are not the same. Redemption means we are healed, made new. Carson is nothing if not an illustration of the principle...and Carson was a child. Is that less likely than the example of Chuck Colson?
