Basic Theology: Redemption - What were we redeemed with?



What were we redeemed with?

V18, knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,

➢ Not with silver and gold,
➢ Not with any perishable commodity,
➢ Not with any decaying commodity,
➢ This isn't some ransom price,
➢ There is no human wealth and
➢ There is no earthly commodity that can pay the price.

"We were redeemed with precious blood,"
the death of someone precious, the death of a precious Lamb, an unblemished spotless Lamb.

Psalms 49:7-8, None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him 8 For the redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall cease forever—

There need to be a substitute to pay the price of redemption, to pay the ransom to God and it takes the death of a spotless Lamb without blemish who is precious.

V 19, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
it's Christ.

That's why John the Baptist looked at Jesus when He came down to the Jordan River and said,
John 1:29, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."
