--THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS WAS NECESSARY TO PAY OUR SIN-DEBT!

---THE PRICE OR OUR REDEMPTION~~

---[1 Peter 1:18-19 (NIV®)]
"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 forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ…"--

Peter chooses his words very carefully here to describe the price of our redemption. Silver and gold were very rare and valuable commodities in the first century, and they are still valuable today. Some people see their enduring value as a solid investment in uncertain economic times. Peter says, “You weren’t redeemed—you weren’t bought out of slavery—with silver or gold. You were bought with something more precious.” More precious than silver or gold—what could it be? The blood of Christ.
Peter recognizes the value of Jesus’ blood because he knows its power, a power far greater than the power of silver and gold. We often look for help in the material resources that the world says are valuable, and those resources can be very helpful. But our ultimate redemption is not something that we can earn—it has been purchased with the powerful blood of Jesus, a free gift to all who will believe in Him as Savior and Lord.

THINK ABOUT IT
The value of Jesus’ blood in God’s sight is infinite and eternal. Contemplate your worth to God that He has been willing to pay such a costly price to rescue you.

PRAYER
"Heavenly Father, blessed be Your name! Through Jesus’ precious blood You have freely given me what I cannot earn. I gratefully receive and trust in the power of His blood to redeem me fully and destroy the works of the Devil. Hallelujah, I've been redeemed! \o/ Jesus has paid our sin-debt. Give Him Praise! In Jesus’ name, amen."
