knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
1 Peter 1:18-19 New Living Translation (NLT)
18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. 19 It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.
For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was not paid with money or earthly possessions. It was paid by the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. Your life was paid in full no debt for your salvation. Christ’s death and resurrection ransom was about you to give you salvation and freedom. Knowing this you can rest assured that no matter what you’ve done Christ’s ransom bought ALL your sins out and relinquished you and have you freedom.
