1 Peter 1:17-20

A Call to Holy Living

And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites when he judges. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time as foreigners here on earth. 18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. 19 He paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20 God chose him for this purpose long before the world began, but now in these final days, he was sent to the earth for all to see. And he did this for you. (NLT)

 

The life that you live needs to be lived in reverent fear of the God, who created you and died for you. God did not use gold or silver to purchase you but He used the precious lifeblood of Jesus Christ to pay the penalty of your sins. Therefore you need to take seriously the life you now live in Christ. Abide in Christ as Christ abides in you. Do not take the life in Christ lightly or for granted for Holy blood was shed for you. Remember that He did this for you.
