IS THIS A BANK OR A CHURCH?

A man called the First National Bank asking for some information about bonds. Conversion or redemption? asked the bank clerk. There was a pause. "Pardon me," said the man, "Do I have the First National Bank or the First Presbyterian Church?

Oh, um.... Redemption? Peter said,
".....knowing that you were not  redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ" (1 Peter 1:18,19).

Redemption is being set free from God's law of sin and death by payment of the precious blood of Jesus! The payment was made at the cross. Have you, by personal belief in Jesus Christ, entered that freedom?
