Matthew Poole and continuators on Colossians 1:14

14 In whom we have redemption through his bloud , even the forgiveness of sins .

i. e. In the person of Christ alone God-man, deputed of his Father to dye for our Salvation, Act. 4.12. & 20.28.

As we are in him, made meet, v. 12.

We have eternal deliverance, Heb. 9.12. effected by a full ransom paid, 1 Cor. 6.20. & 7.23. 1 Pet. 1.18, 19. for the freeing us indeed out of a state of sin and misery, Ioh. 8.36. of eternal death the wages of sin, Rom. 6.23. & 16.20. so that by Redemption here is not meant barely laying down the price, Luk. 2.38. nor consummate Redemption at the l[illegible: 1 letter]st, Eph. 1.14. & 4.30. but efficacious Redemption,

Upon the account of Christ's offering himself an expiatory Sacrifice to God, without which is no remission, Heb. 9.22. Rev. 5.9. effusion of his bloud by a Synecdoche takes in his humiliation to the death of the Cross, and the pains of the second Death he underwent for us, Isa. 53.5, 6. Act. 2.24. Gal. 3.13. Phil. 2.8.

Plenary remission of offences, is by apposition to, or follows redemption as a necessary effect, ch. 2.13. Luk. 1.77. Act. 10.43. by a Metonymie transferring the cause to the effect, see more on Eph. 1.7.
