4. Love-provided Ransom. “He gave His only begotten Son” (Joh_3:16).

5. Life-substituted Ransom. “Give His life a ransom for many” (Mat_20:28).

6. Grace-given Ransom. “Bread that I will give is My flesh” (Joh_6:51).

7. Grateful-remembered Ransom. “This is My Body given for you: this do in remembrance of Me” (Luk_22:19).
