A release, discharge, or in Christian theology, redemption or deliverance from sin.
From Greek apo- 'away/from' + lusis 'loosening/release,' from luein 'to loosen.' The term combines the prefix meaning separation with the concept of untying or releasing, used in theological contexts.
Christian theologians borrowed this Greek term to describe salvation as being 'loosed from' or 'released from' sin—the root word lusis literally means 'untying,' which is a beautiful metaphor for spiritual freedom.
