Peter said, You should be aware that the ransom paid to free you from the worthless way of life which your fathers passed on to you did not consist of anything perishable like silver or gold (1 Peter 1:18). Peter was telling them that the ransom was priceless, worth more than tens of thousands of talents of gold. Today, Christians have heard for so long about the price Jesus paid that it has become commonplace, and its significance lost on us.
