1 Peter 1:18-19 (KJV) Redeemed by Blood

1 Peter 1:18-19 (KJV)

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

 

There is a common accusation made against the children of God:

Our religion is all about money— “silver and gold.” 

It’s true that there have been, and continue to be, charlatans who practice the faith for financial gain. However, compared to the countless pastors serving faithfully, the number of those made wealthy by so-called ministry is minuscule. Yet, these few are infamous. 

 

Or else,

Our religion is corrupt. 

Just look at the history of Christianity: crusades, executions, indulgences, secret orders, etc. The perversions and corruptions of certain priests are also notorious. 

 

Or else,

Our religion is mere vain conversation, just traditions and family culture. 

Sadly, this is true for many. Religion is filled with people who neither understand nor examine why they believe as they do. Too many simply hope that not challenging what they’ve always been told will be sufficient to earn them heaven. But it’s not so. Only faith in Christ saves.

 

However, for those of us who are truly saved, who have placed our faith in Christ and found Him wholly trustworthy, we know that we were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, or by the vain traditions passed down from our fathers. Rather, we were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
