God redeemed us from a futile life by Christ's precious blood, for faith and hope.

About this message

Peter reminds believers that they were ransomed from futile ways not with silver or gold, but with Christ's precious blood. At the Identity youth conference, Vitaliy Sarmanyuk walks through 1 Peter 1:17-21 and describes redemption as a purchase with a buyer, an object, a price and a purpose. He asks what we were redeemed from, at what price, and for what, and calls us to holy living, hope in God and sharing the gospel.

For anyone who wonders what it really means to be redeemed.
