1 Peter 1:17 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 1:17

15 ^abut as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

16 because it is written, ^a“Be holy, for I am holy.”

17 And if you call on the Father, who ^awithout partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your¹ stay here in fear;

18 knowing that you were not redeemed with¹ corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,

19 but ^awith the precious blood of Christ, ^bas of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

20 ^aHe indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was¹ manifest ^bin these last times for you

21 who through Him believe in God, ^awho raised Him from the dead and ^bgave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

The Enduring Word

22 Since you ^ahave purified your souls in obeying the truth¹ through the Spirit in sincere ^blove of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

I Peter 1:17-21

The emphasis here in I Peter 1:17-21 is on the cost of reconciliation. Now, that is very important to God's purpose because a major portion of our desire to obey God comes from a sense of obligation to God and Christ with regard to our appreciation for how much was paid for us to be free.
