With the fall of our first parents, we were rendered spiritually dead. For us to know God, even to desire Him, there has to be talk of a new nature and being born again. In ourselves there is no power to do anything about this. Redemption was accomplished by the death of Christ and the shedding of His blood on the cross. How then is such a redemption applied to us?
God has to command the dead to live. He has to call the spiritually lame to walk. He has to give sight to the spiritually blind and hearing to the spiritually deaf. He has to breath new spiritual life into us in the power of the Holy Spirit to ensure that we are born again.
Repentance and faith are both important in our change from death to life. They must needs be present and active in us. This can only be so with the Holy Spirit's help.
We become justified in the eyes of God, through Christ, He achieved it all. We become clothed in His righteousness. What He achieved, in shedding His blood for the sins of His people is applied to us. Redemption is therefore thus applied.
