1 Peter 1:17–21 NKJV

And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

REDEMPTION

Call on God With Respect Because of Redemption

1 Peter 1:17 NKJV

And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;

God will judge each according to his work

Not his or her color

Friends

Job

success

Godly conduct

Fear as in respect

Not the fear of the world

The world is more concerned with offending people rather than God

Peter says be more concerned with offending God more than people.

Redemption Was Paid With The Incorruptible

1 Peter 1:18 NKJV

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

Not by works or wealth

Ephesians 2:8–9 NKJV

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

1 Peter 1:19 NKJV

but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Because Redemption Was Paid With The Incorruptible We Should Be Incorruptible

1 Peter 1:20 NKJV

He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you

1 Peter 1:21 NKJV

who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
