You Were Redeemed from the Empty Way of Life

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. — 1 Peter 1:18-19

We were not bought with silver or gold.

Rather, God purchased us with the blood of His Son, Jesus.

He redeemed me from my empty way of life.

I had no way to purchase my salvation.

My sin was handed down to me from my ancestors.

Jesus served as the lamb without blemish or defect.

He was the perfect sacrifice for me.

Not perishable things, but with His precious blood.
