1 Peter 1 is packed with such inspirational verses! I'm sure the rest of the chapters will follow suit. After all, Peter wrote to the scattered Christians in what is now modern Turkey, encouraging them to continue on in their faith in spite of persecution.
Two verses that I would like to emphasize here is 1 Pet 1:18-19: For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or
gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to
you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
These verses drive home the fact that our faith is so important, so precious, just like the blood of Christ. He died to save us. He didn't just fork over some extra cash to cover our sins. He gave his life! This is a good reminder to take our faith more seriously; to live a life that exemplifies the price that was paid for it.
