However, the notion of redemption as creation ex nihilo comes from 1 Corinthians 1:26-31. In particular, verse 28, which speaks of redemption as the choice of the “things that are not – to nullify the things that are …”, depriving any Christian if being able to boast, except in the Lord’s work.   This is modelled on the idea of resurrection as life from death, understood as God raising life out of absolute human inability.   - Greg
