Redeemed!

1 Peter 1:18  :For you know that it is not with perishable things such as silver and gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down from to you from your forefathers,”

We are redeemed, saved, bought with a price far more precious than silver or gold.  We are redeemed from the slave market of sin, redeemed from death, Hell, and the grave to life with You, Lord, now and for all eternity. Hallelujah!

Lord, until Gabriel brought news of the birth of John to Zechariah, You had not spoken to Israel in 400 years.  The “religion” handed down from the forefathers was empty and without reality.  Then You were born by immaculate conception and changed history in that one moment.  You became Emmanuel- God WITH us!  And not only lived with us, but then gave your very life’s blood to save us from ourselves!  How precious!   We are now free to live a holy life, devoted to You in purity and with a holy purpose! How precious!
