I Peter 1:17-19
If you address as Father the One who impartially
judges according to each one’s work, conduct
yourselves in fear during the time of your stay
on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed
with perishable things like silver or gold from
your futile way of life inherited from your fore-
fathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb
unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
Hebrews 9:11-12
When Christ appeared as high priest of the good
things to come, He entered through the greater
and more perfect tabernacle, not made with
hands, that is to say, not of this creation, and not
through the blood of goats & calves, but through
His own blood He entered the holy place once
for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
Matthew 20:28
The Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom
for many.

Colossians 1:13-14
For He rescued us from the domain of dark-
ness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His
beloved Son, in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.
Titus 2:13-14
……looking for the blessed hope and the
appearing of the glory of our great God and
Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us
to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to
purify for Himself a people for His own
possession, zealous for good deeds.
Lesson: Jesus came to pay a debt He
didn’t owe for people who owe
a debt we cannot pay.

Romans 8:15-17
For you have not received a spirit of slavery
leading to fear again, but you have received a
spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out,
“Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with
our spirit that we are children of God, and if
children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow
heirs with Christ.
Lesson: Through Christ’s redeeming
work, we are granted by grace
all the privileges of being
God’s children.
