Redemption
The action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil. An element of salvation to express deliverance from sin. In Christian theology, redemption is a metaphor for what is achieved through the Atonement; therefore, there is a metaphorical sense in which the death of Jesus pays the price of a ransom, releasing Christians from bondage to sin and death.

Repentance
Repentance is the activity of reviewing one's actions and feeling contrition or regret for past wrongs, which is accompanied by commitment to change for the better. In modern times, it is generally seen as involving a commitment to personal change and the resolve to live a more responsible and humane life. In other words, being sorry for one's misdeeds. But it can also involve sorrow over a specific sin or series of sins that an individual feels he or she has committed.
The practice of repentance plays an important role in the salvation doctrines of Judaism and Christianity. In religious contexts, it often involves an act of confession to God or to a spiritual elder (such as a monk or priest). This confession might include an admission of guilt, a promise or intent not to repeat the offense, an attempt to make restitution for the wrong, or in some way reverse the harmful effects of the wrong where possible.

Resurrection
The resurrection of the dead is a standard eschatological (the final destiny of the soul and of humankind) belief in the Abrahamic religions. As a religious concept, it is used in two distinct respects: a belief in the resurrection of individual souls that is current and ongoing (Christian idealism, realized eschatology), or else a belief in a singular resurrection of the dead at the end of the world. Some believe the soul is the actual vehicle by which people are resurrected.
The death and resurrection of Jesus is the central focus of Christianity.

Romans
Citizens or members of the Roman civilization originating from the founding of the Italian city of Rome in the 8th century BCE to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century CE. The Roman Empire expanded to become one of the largest empires in the ancient world, though still ruled from the city of Rome, with an estimated population of 50 to 90 million.
Rome conquered Jerusalem in 63 BCE and Israel remained a Roman occupied territory at the birth of Christ. Romans were instrumental in facilitating Christ’s crucifixion.
Romans may also refer to a book of the New Testament of a letter, written by the Apostle Paul, to the Roman Church
