The
Precious Blood Of Christ
Since you call on a
Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as
foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable
things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life
handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ,
a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the
world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you
believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your
faith and hope are in God.
Now that you have
purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each
other, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again,
not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring
word of God.
1
Peter 1:17-23
What ransom did He pay to
save us? Through the death of His only Son on the cross, the Father paid the
price to rescue us from our sin.
God loved us so much that
He gave up His Son to die on the cross and rise from the dead to ransom and rescue
us. That is what you are worth to Him.
Our
worth is measured by what God paid to rescue us.
