Title: Ransomed
---
I Peter 1:17-12
And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

In 1 Peter 1:17-21, there is a paradoxical yet complementary commands in Scripture to "fear not" and to "conduct yourselves with fear." How do these instructions coexist? Pastor Jed Gillis unpacks this by examining our identity as God's children and the imperishable ransom paid with the precious blood of Christ.
We consider what it means to live a life that reflects our redemption from futile ways inherited from our forefathers. Discover how understanding your true identity in Christ transforms your daily conduct and fosters a reverent, careful approach to life.
