Now some folks will mouth-off and say that if they have faith, they don't have to do anything. But I say that a saddle ain't nothin' but a decoration if it ain't on a horse and being used. Same goes for faith and works.

1 Peter 1:7

The way you used to live is useless to you now. You didn't know any better so you just did what everyone else was doing. But you have a new boss now who is showing you a better way. You were purchased from death at a terrible price that was not silver or gold.
1 Peter 1:20

He was chosen for this ride before the world was made, but now you have had the opportunity to witness it.
