I think redemption is a metaphor for Christ’s completed work. Does it involve the justification of believers? Where can I find this in the biblical text?

That's interesting.
Does it involve the justification of believers?
I think that hinges on what you think!

Are you looking for literal examples? In which case I think you look in vein.
If you are looking for metaphorical examples it will hinge on what you think.
Moderators? This seems to violate guidelines.
I think you should study the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John more to see what Jesus was all about. The gospels are rich with information about the question you asked.
Once again, Christian, you are stating a theological idea and asking for help defending it. I'm not sure it's a very controversial question, but you just need to steer away from asking us for help supporting your theological ideas. You've been using Logos long enough by now to know how to search for keywords like redemption, justification, completed work, and so on. Do your own work sifting through the search results to see if they support what you think.
You can get answers more quickly by typing your first sentence into the beta web search. Okay, I entered a shortened version of it but the fact remains that with the beta search several of your questions can be answered by Logos rather than forum users.
Moderators
There are none - it is intended that we self-police. Reportinf through the "report abuse" feature is the only way to bring a Logos employee who has actual power into the discussion. I have provided an answer to push the thread into legitimate territory.
