1 Peter 1:18-21 (New Living Translation)
"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. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days.
Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory."

THOUGHTS: my empty life was ransomed, i was obviously in need of saving, the price was not MERE silver or gold (what is money?!), God CHOSE...he CHOSE, He revealed...just knowing is a gift, precious blood...from a sinless, spotless savior, all this hinges on "through Christ"...done through him, accepted through him, ingredients: trust, faith, HOPE!, you know...you KNOW, and GREAT GLORY! (beyond our comprehension...)
