And if ye call him Father, which without respect of person judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your dwelling here in fear. Knowing that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation, received by the traditions of the fathers, But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb undefiled, and without spot.
1 Peter 1:17-19 (GNV Translation Ed. 1599)
In the name of Jesus Christ; Good morning and greetings.
Herein we see again that the only way to receive salvation is through the blood of the Lamb. Things of this world cannot purchase, nor redeem your soul unto the Father. They are as stated above corruptible, or to use a synonym, perishable. They will in time fade and decay. But the blood of Christ is eternal, it is without spot, without corruption.
Secondly, the traditions of our forefathers, can likewise not save us. Many of the laws as were followed, and are still followed today, are followed for the sake of being, for lack of a better expression, “because that’s the way it has always been”. Remember that Christ freed us from the curse of the Law, and the continuation along this path is both futile and counter productive.
In summation, neither material things, nor traditional things can be used, nor replace, the redemption by grace as offered by our Father.
Pray with me friends:
Heavenly Father I come to you this day, as a sinner. I confess my sins, and seek Your forgiveness. I accept Your grace and mercy by pleading the blood of the Lamb as a redemption of my soul. Amen.
