“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 ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.”
—1 Peter 1:18-21 NIV

How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know you don’t realize how much that I gave you

There’s not price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away”
—Love Song by Third Day

—Luke 24:5b-7 NIV

Was borrowed for three days
His body there would not remain
Our God has robbed the grave”
