Salvation vs. Redemption? (Ask a Capuchin) | Capuchin Franciscans
Summary
TLDRThe video addresses the distinction between redemption and salvation in the Christian faith. Redemption is described as the act of Christ's death and resurrection, which liberated humanity from sin and death. This redemptive moment applies to all people, past, present, and future. Salvation, on the other hand, is the lifelong process of living in union with Christ, growing in faith, receiving sacraments, and serving others. Salvation involves continually striving to live a Christ-like life, seeking forgiveness when needed, and ultimately being united with God in heaven after death.

🔄 Understanding Redemption and Salvation
The speaker answers Christopher’s question on the difference between redemption and salvation. Redemption refers to the act of Christ's death and resurrection, where humanity is united with God and freed from sin and death. This occurred at a historical moment on the cross but applies to all people across time, even before and after Christ’s time on Earth. Salvation, on the other hand, involves living out that redemption throughout one's life by choosing to stay close to God and live according to His will. As individuals maintain union with Christ through sacraments, prayer, and service, they are continuously 'being saved' with the hope of eternal life with God.

Transcripts
I have a question from Christopher and
he asks how about covering the
differences between Redemption and
salvation so the redemption is what well
it they're both about what God has done
and continues to do for us but when we
think in terms of redemption it is the
the act of Christ's death on the cross
and of course his resurrection that that
his passion and death and resurrection
that moment in time is the moment of
redemption when Humanity is united with
God is redeemed meaning that we have the
we're able to be free from sin that sin
and death no longer need have a hold on
us during our lives as we live but also
at the time of our death so in in that
God has redeemed us that redemption took
place with Christ's death on the cross
and so having been redeemed through
Christ then salvation is the the living
out of that redemption in our lives by
our choice to draw close to God and to
be in union with him and to live the way
that he has called us so that we are
being saved throughout our lives and
would be saved because we have been
living in union with Christ during
closer to our Heavenly Father all during
our life and it's the natural thing that
at the time of our death
God acknowledges that as he has all
along the way and we would be with God
for
ever in heaven so the redemption is
something that first took place
historically in that moment of the cross
but the results of it last
then for all people actually before that
moment it's goes back to include all
people who have ever lived and it also
includes anybody who will yet to be born
and live in our Catholic tradition we
don't usually talk about when I was
saved that it's more about being saved
by Christ that in Baptism is when we're
sacramentally United with Christ in his
death and in his resurrection and that
begins our life with God in terms of
receiving the sacraments but and there
may be moments in time perhaps before
baptism or after when we experience a
profound sense of union with Christ and
beyond from that point on we begin to to
live deliberately and wholeheartedly or
our life with Christ but we do
understand that being saved means that
throughout our life we do want to be
dedicated and deliberate about living in
union with Christ and receiving the
sacraments faithfully serving others as
Christ would call us to do so to pray
ever more deeply and so that living in
union with Christ faithfully and asking
for forgiveness when we do sin at times
then that's all part of being saved
living out our life with God and so we
continue that throughout our lives so
that when we die it's very natural then
that God acknowledges our life and our
fidelity and we would be would live
forever then with him
and having
