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. 1 Peter 1:18-19
That is how much GOD loves us, He would redeem us with His precious blood.
Redeemed means: To recover ownership of by paying a specified sum.
He died to redeem us and our sin. Think this through. It is like a king going out and sacrificing his body and his life for a slave who is in danger. That was Jesus's sacrifice. That sacrifice can bring a chain of qualities to mind.
Love then Mercy which would lead to patience and patience gives tons of things like being slow to anger and self denial and control of your body. There is so much more but it would take a very long time to list everything.
God is unmatchable. I have a plan that I will not tell about until I succeed, but I would encourage people to take advantage of the small time that we have left on this earth to show the same love God showed us and talk to someone about Jesus and help them understand Gods love for them.
