Divine being's returned redeemed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saved

'redeemed' is the definition.
('save' can be a synonym of 'redeem')

'divine being's returned' is the wordplay.
'divine being's' becomes 'Deva's' (in Hinduism).
'returned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'devas' backwards is 'SAVED'.

(Other definitions for saved that I've seen before include "Kept for later" , "Stored for future use" , "what Jesus did" , "Prevented from dying" , "Rescued; put by" .)
